Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
