Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Network Print at 2.0 against 在留カード等読取アプリケーション's 1.3. Network Print also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). 在留カード等読取アプリケーション's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 4) and review sentiment (22% vs 14%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Network Print holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 在留カード等読取アプリケーション has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Network Print's written reviews are positive against 22% of 在留カード等読取アプリケーション's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Network Print ships an update every 6 weeks, 在留カード等読取アプリケーション every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
