# Printer vs iPrint

Printer and iPrint both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Printer's written reviews are positive against 50% of iPrint's. Printer also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 85). iPrint's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Printer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and iPrint sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Printer against 4.6 for iPrint. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer has 2.8K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Printer's written reviews are positive against 50% of iPrint's.

Printer ships an update every 3 months, iPrint monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
