Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TextEditor at 78% against txt Editor's 25%. TextEditor also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (3K vs 1). txt Editor's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. txt Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. TextEditor asks for nothing beyond the download.
txt Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TextEditor has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of TextEditor's written reviews are positive against 25% of txt Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TextEditor ships an update every 10 months, txt Editor weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
