Choosing between compact label makers supplies can come down to what you want in the box and how specific you need phone compatibility to be. Both options are Bluetooth, smartphone-oriented, portable label printers with print-only operation, but their tape bundles, colors, and listed printing details point to different organizing routines.
Quick verdict
Pick the Label Maker Machine with Tape, P21 Bluetooth Label Printer with 3 Tapes, Wire if getting three tapes is central to your purchase and you use an iPhone, iOS, or Android device. Its pink finish also makes it the more color-specific choice.
Choose the Label Maker Machine with Tape Bluetooth Portable Thermal Labelling Printer for S if a white unit with a keyring, one roll of label tape, and a Type-C cable better matches your setup. It also lists 203 DPI direct thermal printing and laminated-label properties including water, oil, and scratch resistance.
The listed prices are separated by $2.07, so the decision is more about the bundle and feature emphasis than a major price gap.

Where each label maker wins
Choose the P21 for tape quantity and stated platform support
The P21 title specifically includes 3 Tapes, which makes it the clearer fit for someone who wants multiple tapes named upfront. It is also the more explicit compatibility pick: the device details name smartphones, iPhone, iOS, and Android. Bluetooth connectivity supports its pocketable, wireless label-maker positioning, while the description highlights templates and creative functions for home, office, classroom, and school organization.
Choose the portable thermal printer for its accessory bundle and label specifications
The white portable thermal printer lists a keyring, label-tape roll, Type-C cable, and user manual in its built-in media. Its description also calls out 203 DPI direct thermal printing, with no ink or toner mentioned as necessary, plus laminated labels described as clear, waterproof, oil-proof, scratch-resistant, and removable without residue. The attached metal ring is a distinct practical detail for carrying it on a bag or hanging it nearby.
Product notes
Label Maker Machine with Tape, P21 Bluetooth Label Printer with 3 Tapes, Wire
This is the better match when you want the purchase centered on tape quantity rather than an accessory kit. The "with 3 Tapes" wording gives it a concrete organizing advantage for labeling several areas from the start, whether that means school items, office supplies, or household categories. It also names smartphone, iPhone, iOS, and Android compatibility, making it especially straightforward for mixed mobile-device households. Bluetooth and its compact, handheld positioning suit on-the-go labeling, and the pink color provides a clearly defined look. The trade-off is that its listed printer function is print only, so it is best approached as a focused label printer rather than a multifunction printer.
Label Maker Machine with Tape Bluetooth Portable Thermal Labelling Printer for S
Choose this white model when the accessory mix matters as much as the printer itself. The built-in media lists a keyring, one roll of label tape, a Type-C cable, and a user manual; the keyring also aligns with the description's emphasis on hanging the printer from a bag. Its 203 DPI direct thermal printing and laminated-label description make it a compelling option for labels expected to face water, oil, or scratches. It is also designed for smartphones over Bluetooth and is described as pocket-sized. One limitation to keep in mind is its simplex designation: the attributes identify it as non-duplex, while its additional printer function remains print only.
Final choice by use case
For an organizer who prioritizes three tapes and explicitly listed iPhone, iOS, and Android support, select the P21 Bluetooth Label Printer with 3 Tapes. For someone who prefers a white label maker with a keyring, Type-C cable, and laminated-label features, select the Portable Thermal Labelling Printer. Both serve the same core Bluetooth smartphone-labeling role; the deciding details are the P21's tape count versus the portable thermal printer's accessory and label-construction focus.
