Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Faxer.me at Free against PrintCentral's $3.99. Faxer.me also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). PrintCentral's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Faxer.me is free to download; PrintCentral costs $3.99 up front. PrintCentral sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Faxer.me sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Faxer.me holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PrintCentral has 36 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
PrintCentral ships an update every 4 months, Faxer.me every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
