# Printer vs Printer

Printer and Printer both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Printer's written reviews are positive against 0% of Printer's. Printer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 55). Printer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases 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 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer has 2.8K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two.
