Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Weee at free with in-app purchases against Textastic Code Editor's subscription. Weee also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Textastic Code Editor's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 3) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. Textastic Code Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Weee sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Weee holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Textastic Code Editor has 2.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Textastic Code Editor's written reviews are positive against 75% of Weee's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
