Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Markdown to PDF at 83% against LaTeX Editor Tex Pro's 51%. Markdown to PDF also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). LaTeX Editor Tex Pro's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 9) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. LaTeX Editor Tex Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Markdown to PDF sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LaTeX Editor Tex Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LaTeX Editor Tex Pro has 1.7K ratings behind it against 9, 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 83% of Markdown to PDF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LaTeX Editor Tex Pro ships an update every 2 months, Markdown to PDF every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
