# Runestone Text Editor vs Resolutioner

The clearest difference is price: Runestone Text Editor at Free against Resolutioner's $0.99. Runestone Text Editor also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 63 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Resolutioner's advantage is chart position (#2 vs #37). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Runestone Text Editor is free to download; Resolutioner costs $0.99 up front. Runestone Text Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Resolutioner sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Runestone Text Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2K and 868 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Runestone Text Editor's written reviews are positive against 79% of Resolutioner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Runestone Text Editor ships an update every 2 weeks, Resolutioner every 63 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
