# QuickEditor vs Notepad ++

The clearest difference is rating: QuickEditor at 5.0 against Notepad ++'s 1.1. QuickEditor also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). Notepad ++'s advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickEditor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Notepad ++ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notepad ++ has 54 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of QuickEditor's written reviews are positive against 0% of Notepad ++'s.

QuickEditor ships an update every 3 weeks, Notepad ++ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
