Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Print at 100% against HP's 36%. Print also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). HP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
