Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Brother iPrint&Label holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brother iPrint&Label has 8.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Brother iPrint&Label's written reviews are positive against 50% of StrokeInput's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brother iPrint&Label ships an update every 3 months, StrokeInput every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
