# Printer vs Printer Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Printer at 84% against Printer Pro's 14%. Printer also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 54). Printer Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Printer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Printer Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer has 2.8K ratings behind it against 54, 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 14% of Printer Pro's.

Printer ships an update every 3 months, Printer Pro weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
