# Craft vs iMarkdown

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Craft at 6.6K against iMarkdown's 1. iMarkdown's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and iMarkdown sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iMarkdown holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Craft's written reviews are positive against 90% of iMarkdown's.

Craft ships an update every 10 days, iMarkdown every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
