Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: LaTeX Editor Tex Pro at 1.7K against scri+'s 1. LaTeX Editor Tex Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). scri+'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
