# DB vs printer

The clearest difference is rating: DB at 4.5 against printer's 3.0. DB also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (37 vs 2). printer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DB sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and printer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DB holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DB has 37 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DB ships an update every 5 months, printer every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
