Listen: Read Any Article Aloud Tap Listen and PrintFriendly reads the cleaned-up article aloud, highlighting each sentence as it goes.

Save to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or Notion Send the finished PDF straight to where you already keep things instead of fishing it out of your Downloads folder.

For Notion, pick the page or database each PDF goes into, from the pages you have shared with PrintFriendly. Set a default once and every save after that is one click.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PrintFriendly at every 5 days against EZText's every 6 weeks. PrintFriendly also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and device support (4 vs 2). EZText's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 9). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PrintFriendly holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of EZText's written reviews are positive against 75% of PrintFriendly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EZText ships an update every 6 weeks, PrintFriendly every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
