# Text Editor vs Cognitive Physics

The clearest difference is price: Cognitive Physics at Free against Text Editor's $1.99. Cognitive Physics also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). Text Editor's advantage is ratings volume (129 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Cognitive Physics is free to download; Text Editor costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Cognitive Physics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Editor has 129 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Text Editor ships an update every 2 weeks, Cognitive Physics monthly. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
