# iCan vs iPrint

The clearest difference is rating: iPrint at 4.3 against iCan's 3.8. iPrint also leads on ratings volume (144 vs 24). iCan's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iCan sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and iPrint sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iPrint holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iPrint has 144 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of iCan's written reviews are positive against 41% of iPrint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iCan ships an update every 4 weeks, iPrint every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
