Verdict

The call

Printer App and Smart Printer Print and Scan both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Smart Printer Print and Scan's written reviews are positive against 38% of Printer App's. Printer App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (25K vs 58). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer App has 25K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Printer App's written reviews are positive against 83% of Smart Printer Print and Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Printer App ships an update every 3 weeks, Smart Printer Print and Scan fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
