# Pocket Print vs Printer App

The clearest difference is rating: Printer App at 4.6 against Pocket Print's 1.5. Printer App also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 2) and review sentiment (63% vs 43%). Pocket Print's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Print sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Printer App sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer App has 14K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Pocket Print's written reviews are positive against 63% of Printer App's.

Pocket Print ships an update every 3 months, Printer App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
