Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Air Print at none against Smart Printer App's shown. Air Print also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). Smart Printer App's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Air Print sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Smart Printer App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Air Print holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Air Print has 32 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Air Print's written reviews are positive against 89% of Smart Printer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Air Print ships an update every 2 months, Smart Printer App every 14 months. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
