Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smooth Print at 100% against Printr's 33%. Smooth Print also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). Printr's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
