Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TextEditor at none against Inkpage's 1. TextEditor also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (3K vs 265). Inkpage's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inkpage sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. TextEditor asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Inkpage holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TextEditor has 3K ratings behind it against 265, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of TextEditor's written reviews are positive against 50% of Inkpage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TextEditor ships an update every 10 months, Inkpage every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
