# Smart Printer App vs Smart Printer

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Printer App at 4.7 against Smart Printer's 3.9. Smart Printer App also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Printer App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Smart Printer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Printer App has 8.5K ratings behind it against 607, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Smart Printer App's written reviews are positive against 39% of Smart Printer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart Printer App ships an update monthly, Smart Printer every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
