# Printer App vs iPrint

The clearest difference is monetization model: iPrint at free with in-app purchases against Printer App's subscription. iPrint also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). Printer App's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 136) and review sentiment (63% vs 41%). On price, rating, update cadence 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 iPrint sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer App has 14K ratings behind it against 136, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Printer App's written reviews are positive against 41% of iPrint's.

Printer App ships an update every 3 weeks, iPrint every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
