Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Printer at free with in-app purchases against Tap & Print's subscription. Printer also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 52%) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Tap & Print's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
