Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Printer at 100% against Printer App's 38%. Printer App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (25K vs 25). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Printer App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart Printer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
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 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Printer App's written reviews are positive against 100% of Smart Printer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Printer App ships an update every 3 weeks, Smart Printer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
