# Smart Printer vs Mobile Print & Smart Printer

The clearest difference is ads: Mobile Print & Smart Printer at none against Smart Printer's shown. Mobile Print & Smart Printer also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). Smart Printer's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (48% vs 34%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Printer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Mobile Print & Smart Printer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Printer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Printer has 3.5K ratings behind it against 691, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Smart Printer's written reviews are positive against 34% of Mobile Print & Smart Printer's.

Smart Printer ships an update fortnightly, Mobile Print & Smart Printer monthly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
