# Scheminator vs Runestone Text Editor

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scheminator at none against Runestone Text Editor's 1. Scheminator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Runestone Text Editor's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 3) and chart position (#42 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Runestone Text Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Scheminator asks for nothing beyond the download.

Scheminator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Runestone Text Editor has 2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
