Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EZText at 78% against Word Processor's 42%. EZText also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Word Processor's advantage is ratings volume (902 vs 27) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Word Processor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Processor has 902 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Word Processor's written reviews are positive against 78% of EZText's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Word Processor ships an update every 2 weeks, EZText every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
