# Spck Editor vs HTML Editor

Spck Editor and HTML Editor both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Spck Editor's written reviews are positive against 22% of HTML Editor's. Spck Editor also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). HTML Editor's advantage is ratings volume (819 vs 52) and chart position (#37 vs #125). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spck Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and HTML Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for Spck Editor against 4.2 for HTML Editor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Editor has 819 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two.
