# NoiseLevel vs Simple Markdown Editor

The clearest difference is price: Simple Markdown Editor at Free against NoiseLevel's $0.99. Simple Markdown Editor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.6) and device support (4 vs 2). NoiseLevel's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Simple Markdown Editor is free to download; NoiseLevel costs $0.99 up front. Simple Markdown Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. NoiseLevel asks for nothing beyond the download.

Simple Markdown Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoiseLevel has 28 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of NoiseLevel's written reviews are positive against 50% of Simple Markdown Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NoiseLevel ships an update fortnightly, Simple Markdown Editor every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
