Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Smart Printer App at 13K against Printer App's 38. Smart Printer App also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). Printer App's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 14%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Printer App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Printer App has 13K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Smart Printer App's written reviews are positive against 33% of Printer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smart Printer App ships an update monthly, Printer App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
