# Smart Printer App vs Smart Air Printer

The clearest difference is monetization model: Smart Printer App at free with in-app purchases against Smart Air Printer's subscription. Smart Printer App also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (8.9K vs 1.9K). Smart Air Printer's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (53% vs 36%).

Both are free to download. Smart Printer App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Smart Air Printer sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Smart Printer App's written reviews are positive against 53% of Smart Air Printer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
