Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Brother iPrint&Scan at Free against ePrint's $2.99. Brother iPrint&Scan also leads on rating (2.6 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 26). ePrint's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Brother iPrint&Scan is free to download; ePrint costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Brother iPrint&Scan holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brother iPrint&Scan has 2.1K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of ePrint's written reviews are positive against 20% of Brother iPrint&Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
