Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: USB Disk at 4.6 against Printer 2 Go's 1.0. USB Disk also leads on ratings volume (161 vs 1) and price ($0.99 vs $4.99). Printer 2 Go's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

USB Disk holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USB Disk has 161 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of USB Disk's written reviews are positive against 81% of Printer 2 Go'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. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
