Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Conwrite at 93% against LaTeX Editor Tex Pro's 51%. Conwrite also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). LaTeX Editor Tex Pro's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 24). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LaTeX Editor Tex Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LaTeX Editor Tex Pro has 1.7K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of LaTeX Editor Tex Pro's written reviews are positive against 93% of Conwrite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LaTeX Editor Tex Pro ships an update every 2 months, Conwrite fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
