# Tap & Print vs Smart Printer App

Smart Printer App also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Tap & Print's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tap & Print sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Smart Printer App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
