# Printing for iPad vs Smart PDF+ Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Smart PDF+ Editor at 3.8 against Printing for iPad's 2.0. Smart PDF+ Editor also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (53 vs 7). Printing for iPad's advantage is review sentiment (21% vs 5%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Printing for iPad costs $4.99 and Smart PDF+ Editor $4.99 up front. Printing for iPad sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Smart PDF+ Editor asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart PDF+ Editor holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart PDF+ Editor has 53 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Printing for iPad's written reviews are positive against 5% of Smart PDF+ Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Printing for iPad ships an update every 2 months, Smart PDF+ Editor every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
