Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
