# SimpleEdit vs Text Case

The clearest difference is rating: Text Case at 4.7 against SimpleEdit's 3.5. Text Case also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 62%) and ratings volume (144 vs 22). SimpleEdit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SimpleEdit sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Text Case sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text Case holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Case has 144 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of SimpleEdit's written reviews are positive against 78% of Text Case's.

SimpleEdit ships an update every 3 weeks, Text Case every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and July 4, 2026 respectively.
