Text Designer is free to download; Textcraft costs $4.99 up front. Text Designer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Textcraft asks for nothing beyond the download.
Text Designer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Designer has 2.4K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Text Designer's written reviews are positive against 60% of Textcraft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Text Designer ships an update every 2 months, Textcraft every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
