# QuickEditor vs txt Editor

The clearest difference is rating: QuickEditor at 5.0 against txt Editor's 1.9. txt Editor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickEditor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. txt Editor asks for nothing beyond the download.

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: txt Editor has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of QuickEditor's written reviews are positive against 23% of txt Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

QuickEditor ships an update every 3 weeks, txt Editor every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
