Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EasyEditText at 79% against QuickEditor's 13%. EasyEditText also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (61 vs 1). QuickEditor's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EasyEditText has 61 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of EasyEditText's written reviews are positive against 13% of QuickEditor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EasyEditText ships an update every 4 months, QuickEditor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
