Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Spck Editor at Free against CodeXplore's $2.99. Spck Editor also leads on ratings volume (52 vs 1) and chart position (#114 vs unranked). CodeXplore's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
