# Smart Printer App vs Printer Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Printer Pro at 5.0 against Smart Printer App's 4.5. Printer Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs monthly). Smart Printer App's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 4) and chart position (#89 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Printer App sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Printer Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printer Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Printer App has 13K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Smart Printer App ships an update monthly, Printer Pro daily. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
