# Printer App vs iPrint

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Printer App at 25K against iPrint's 136. Printer App also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Printer App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and iPrint sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Printer App against 4.4 for iPrint. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer App has 25K ratings behind it against 136, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 38% of Printer App's written reviews are positive against 41% of iPrint's.

Printer App ships an update every 3 weeks, iPrint every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
