Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quack at 100% against Text Editor.'s 27%. Quack also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Text Editor.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Text Editor. holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Editor. has 4.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Text Editor.'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Quack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Text Editor. ships an update daily, Quack every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
