Verdict

The call

PrinterShare and Smart Printer both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Smart Printer's written reviews are positive against 44% of PrinterShare's. Smart Printer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). PrinterShare's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (309 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
