# PrinterShare vs printer

The clearest difference is rating: PrinterShare at 4.9 against printer's 3.0. PrinterShare also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (309 vs 2). printer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PrinterShare sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and printer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PrinterShare holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PrinterShare has 309 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PrinterShare ships an update every 2 weeks, printer every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
