Verdict
Editable File and Solid Notes both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Solid Notes's written reviews are positive against 13% of Editable File's. Solid Notes also leads on price (Free vs $0.49) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). Editable File's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On rating, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Editable File holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Editable File's written reviews are positive against 88% of Solid Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Editable File ships an update monthly, Solid Notes every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
