# ShadowShare vs G&B Printer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: G&B Printer at none against ShadowShare's 3. G&B Printer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ShadowShare's advantage is ratings volume (373 vs 4) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShadowShare sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. G&B Printer asks for nothing beyond the download.

G&B Printer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShadowShare has 373 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ShadowShare ships an update every 6 weeks, G&B Printer every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
