Print Master's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (19K vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Print Master holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Print Master has 19K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Design Manager's written reviews are positive against 38% of Print Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Design Manager ships an update every 6 weeks, Print Master every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
