Should I buy the Brother P-Touch Cube or Dymo LetraTag?

If you’re choosing between these two, I’d generally lean Brother P-Touch Cube for most people who want labels that hold up well and a more flexible phone-based experience.

Choose the Brother P-Touch Cube if you want:

• better overall label durability for everyday use
• a phone/app workflow instead of a built-in keyboard
• more flexible formatting and layout options than a basic handheld unit

Choose the Dymo LetraTag if you want:

• a simpler, usually cheaper label maker
• a more basic labeling experience
• a standalone handheld model with a physical keyboard

Main practical differences

• Durability: Brother’s laminated TZe tapes are generally the sturdier option for regular use around the home or office.
• Typing method: The Brother Cube is app-based and uses your smartphone. Classic LetraTag units are handheld devices with a keyboard; Dymo also has a Bluetooth LetraTag model.
• Flexibility: The Brother app usually gives you more formatting and layout choices than a basic handheld LetraTag.

Simple rule

• Pick Brother P-Touch Cube if you care more about durability and flexibility.
• Pick Dymo LetraTag if you care more about lower cost and simplicity.

If you’re looking at Dymo, make sure to check the exact model: LetraTag 100H is the classic keyboard version, while LetraTag 200B is Bluetooth-only.
