Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SPOT Global Print at 100% against Princh's 57%. Princh's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 17 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Princh holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Princh has 4.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Princh's written reviews are positive against 100% of SPOT Global Print's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Princh ships an update every 6 weeks, SPOT Global Print every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
