Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Printer App at Free against PrintCentral Pro's $4.99. Printer App also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 187) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). PrintCentral Pro's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 38%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On rating and ads there is nothing between them.
