Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Air Printer at 4.2 against Pocket Print's 1.5. Air Printer also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Pocket Print's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (43% vs 28%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pocket Print sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Air Printer sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Air Printer holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Air Printer has 2.3K 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 28% of Air Printer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pocket Print ships an update every 3 months, Air Printer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
