Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Printer App at free with in-app purchases against Smart Printer App for HP ℠'s subscription. Printer App also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 16) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Smart Printer App for HP ℠'s advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 38%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Printer App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart Printer App for HP ℠ sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Printer App's written reviews are positive against 53% of Smart Printer App for HP ℠'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 App for HP ℠ every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
