# Markdown Maker vs iMarkdown

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iMarkdown at 90% against Markdown Maker's 45%. iMarkdown also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Markdown Maker's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Markdown Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and iMarkdown sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iMarkdown holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Markdown Maker has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Markdown Maker's written reviews are positive against 90% of iMarkdown's.

Markdown Maker ships an update every 2 weeks, iMarkdown every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
