# Text editor vs TextEditor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TextEditor at 100% against Text editor's 48%. TextEditor also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.9). Text editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TextEditor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TextEditor holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text editor has 113 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Text editor's written reviews are positive against 100% of TextEditor's.

Text editor ships an update weekly, TextEditor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
