Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Print Now at none against Smart Printer's shown. Print Now also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Smart Printer's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 3) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
