# Text Editor. vs Quack

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.

Both are free to download. Text Editor. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Quack sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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