# Text Editor vs Code

Text Editor and Code both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Text Editor's written reviews are positive against 38% of Code's. Code's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (33 vs 4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Code sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for Text Editor against 4.0 for Code. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code has 33 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Text Editor's written reviews are positive against 38% of Code's.

Text Editor ships an update every 2 weeks, Code every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
