# HTML Editor vs Code Notes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Code Notes at 100% against HTML Editor's 22%. Code Notes also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). HTML Editor's advantage is ratings volume (882 vs 1) and chart position (#51 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HTML Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Code Notes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Code Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Editor has 882 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of HTML Editor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Code Notes's.
