# Printer app ® vs Smart Printer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Printer at 100% against Printer app ®'s 13%. Smart Printer also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1). Printer app ®'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9.6K vs 25). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Printer app ® sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month 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.

Smart Printer holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer app ® has 9.6K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of Printer app ®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Smart Printer's.
