# PrintDirect vs Printer Pro

PrintDirect and Printer Pro both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of PrintDirect's written reviews are positive against 14% of Printer Pro's. PrintDirect also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Printer Pro's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and device support (3 vs 1).
