Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Morbid OPS at none against Textastic Code Editor's 3. Morbid OPS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Textastic Code Editor's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 1) and chart position (#18 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
