# QuickEditor vs TXT Editor

The clearest difference is rating: QuickEditor at 5.0 against TXT Editor's 3.7. QuickEditor also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). TXT Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickEditor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and TXT Editor sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. 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 point the same way: 13% of QuickEditor's written reviews are positive against 0% of TXT Editor's.

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