# Text Editor vs Text Editor & Code

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Text Editor & Code at 100% against Text Editor's 27%. Text Editor & Code also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4). Text Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Text Editor & Code sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text Editor & Code holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Editor has 4.4K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of Text Editor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Text Editor & Code's.

Text Editor ships an update daily, Text Editor & Code fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
