Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Air Printer at 4.2 against HP Advance's 2.2. Air Printer also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 26) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). HP Advance's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
