Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Print at 100% against Lens's 17%. Print also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Lens's advantage is ratings volume (803 vs 5) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Print sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Lens sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lens holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lens has 803 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Print's written reviews are positive against 17% of Lens's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Print ships an update weekly, Lens every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
