Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Printer App at 4.5 against Pocket Print's 1.5. Printer App also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Print sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Printer App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer App has 25K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Pocket Print's written reviews are positive against 38% of Printer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pocket Print ships an update every 3 months, Printer App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
