Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Canon Publisher Mobile at none against Remote Print's 4. Canon Publisher Mobile also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Remote Print's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Remote Print sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Canon Publisher Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.
Canon Publisher Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Print has 63 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Canon Publisher Mobile's written reviews are positive against 56% of Remote Print's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Canon Publisher Mobile ships an update every 5 months, Remote Print every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
