Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 4Barcode at 2.5 against Shipping Printer's 2.1. Shipping Printer's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (206 vs 35). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
4Barcode holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shipping Printer has 206 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Shipping Printer's written reviews are positive against 22% of 4Barcode's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shipping Printer ships an update every 10 days, 4Barcode monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
