Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Citizen CMP Print at none against PrinterA's 4. Citizen CMP Print also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). PrinterA's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 44 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
