# Air Printer vs iPrint

The clearest difference is rating: iPrint at 4.3 against Air Printer's 2.5. iPrint also leads on ratings volume (144 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). Air Printer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Air Printer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and iPrint sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iPrint holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iPrint has 144 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Air Printer ships an update every 2 days, iPrint every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
