Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Smart Printer App | Air Print at free with in-app purchases against Printer App's subscription. Smart Printer App | Air Print also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.9). Printer App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (353 vs 12). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Printer App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Smart Printer App | Air Print sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart Printer App | Air Print holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer App has 353 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Printer App's written reviews are positive against 0% of Smart Printer App | Air Print's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Printer App ships an update fortnightly, Smart Printer App | Air Print every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
