# Smart Printer App & Scan vs Smart Printer App

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Printer App at 4.5 against Smart Printer App & Scan's 4.2. Smart Printer App & Scan's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and ratings volume (83K vs 13K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Printer App & Scan sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Smart Printer App sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Printer App & Scan has 83K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Smart Printer App & Scan's written reviews are positive against 14% of Smart Printer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart Printer App & Scan ships an update fortnightly, Smart Printer App monthly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
