# Textastic Code Editor vs SSO Node

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SSO Node at none against Textastic Code Editor's 3. SSO Node also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Textastic Code Editor's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 2) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Textastic Code Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. SSO Node asks for nothing beyond the download.

SSO Node 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 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
