# Tiny Printer vs The printer app

The clearest difference is rating: The printer app at 5.0 against Tiny Printer's 3.7. The printer app also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Tiny Printer's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Printer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and The printer app sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The printer app holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Printer has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tiny Printer ships an update every 3 months, The printer app every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
