# 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 41% of iPrint's. Printer also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 136). iPrint's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. 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 4.4 for iPrint. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer has 2.8K ratings behind it against 136, 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 41% of iPrint's.

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