Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 7 at 4.6 against Network Print's 2.0. 7 also leads on ratings volume (257 vs 4) and review sentiment (35% vs 14%). Network Print's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
