# Runestone Text Editor vs ONE Device

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ONE Device at none against Runestone Text Editor's 1. ONE Device also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Runestone Text Editor's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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

ONE Device 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.

Runestone Text Editor ships an update every 2 weeks, ONE Device monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
