# Tap & Print vs Printer App ©

The clearest difference is rating: Printer App © at 4.8 against Tap & Print's 4.2. Printer App © also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). Tap & Print's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 28%) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 365). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tap & Print sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Printer App © sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printer App © holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tap & Print has 3.5K ratings behind it against 365, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Tap & Print's written reviews are positive against 28% of Printer App ©'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tap & Print ships an update fortnightly, Printer App © every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
