Both are free to download. Printer App sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Air Printer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Air Printer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Printer App has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Printer App's written reviews are positive against 100% of Air Printer's.
Printer App ships an update every 2 months, Air Printer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
