Verdict

The call

Smart Printer App & Scanner and Printer both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Printer's written reviews are positive against 40% of Smart Printer App & Scanner's. Printer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Smart Printer App & Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months).
