# CamX vs Printax

The clearest difference is rating: Printax at 5.0 against CamX's 4.4. Printax also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). CamX's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (295 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CamX sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Printax sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Printax holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CamX has 295 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CamX ships an update every 3 weeks, Printax every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
