# Geometrica vs Printcil

The clearest difference is rating: Printcil at 5.0 against Geometrica's 4.4. Printcil also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (63% vs 41%). Geometrica's advantage is ratings volume (577 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Geometrica sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $16.99 per month and Printcil sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printcil holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Geometrica has 577 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of Geometrica's written reviews are positive against 63% of Printcil's.

Geometrica ships an update every 3 months, Printcil fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
