# Print vs Lens

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) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Lens's advantage is ratings volume (768 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Print sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Lens sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.59 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Print holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lens has 768 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Print's written reviews are positive against 17% of Lens's.

Print ships an update weekly, Lens every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
