# Text Editor vs CodeMaster

The clearest difference is rating: CodeMaster at 4.6 against Text Editor's 4.0. CodeMaster also leads on ratings volume (139 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.7). Text Editor's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and review sentiment (75% vs 44%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and CodeMaster sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CodeMaster holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CodeMaster has 139 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Text Editor's written reviews are positive against 44% of CodeMaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Text Editor ships an update every 2 weeks, CodeMaster monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
