# Brother iPrint&Label vs StrokeInput

The clearest difference is rating: Brother iPrint&Label at 4.6 against StrokeInput's 3.6. Brother iPrint&Label also leads on ratings volume (8.3K vs 9). StrokeInput's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 34%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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.
