Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spider Notes at none against AnyPrinter's 1. Spider Notes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). AnyPrinter's advantage is iOS requirement (18.2 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
