Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Smart Printer at fortnightly against Printer's every 3 months. Smart Printer also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Printer's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 25) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Printer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Smart Printer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Printer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer has 2.8K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Printer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Smart Printer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Printer ships an update every 3 months, Smart Printer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
