Survivor Ink

Ran out of one ink and the printer will not finish the job? Survivor Ink rewrites the page so it prints with the ink you still have. Tell it which cartridges are empty. Every colour on the page is taken apart into the inks it would have needed, the missing ones are removed, and what is left is rebuilt from the inks the printer still holds. Text stays dark enough to read, and colours that never needed the missing cartridge come through unchanged. Black is the awkward one. Send a printer a plain grey and it reaches for the black cartridge — the empty one. So when black runs out, the dark parts of the page are given a colour the printer can actually mix, like the deep blue of cyan and magenta together. That is what makes the ink land on the paper. • Photos, PDFs and pages scanned with the camera • A live preview, before and after • See how much of each ink a page needs, and how much the new version saves • Thin the ink for a draft, or sharpen faint text on a scan • Print, share or save the finished page No account, no ads, and nothing is uploaded. Every page is recoloured locally.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FinderQuery Client at none against Survivor Ink's 2. FinderQuery Client also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Survivor Ink's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 17 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
