# Printer App vs Smart Printer Print and Scan

The clearest difference is monetization model: Smart Printer Print and Scan at free with in-app purchases against Printer App's subscription. Smart Printer Print and Scan also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Printer App's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 58) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Printer App sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.49 per month and Smart Printer Print and Scan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer App has 14K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Printer App's written reviews are positive against 83% of Smart Printer Print and Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Printer App ships an update every 3 weeks, Smart Printer Print and Scan fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
