# Hi Yan vs TattooPrinter

The clearest difference is rating: TattooPrinter at 3.6 against Hi Yan's 2.7. TattooPrinter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Hi Yan's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 14%) and ratings volume (31 vs 5). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hi Yan sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. TattooPrinter asks for nothing beyond the download.

TattooPrinter holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hi Yan has 31 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Hi Yan's written reviews are positive against 14% of TattooPrinter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
