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).

Both are free to download. PrinterShare sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and Smart Printer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
