# Printer vs Printer App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Printer at 84% against Printer App's 33%. Printer also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 38) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, 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 Printer App sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer has 2.8K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Printer's written reviews are positive against 33% of Printer App's.

Printer ships an update every 3 months, Printer App every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
