# iEditor vs QuickEditor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iEditor at 56% against QuickEditor's 13%. iEditor also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (189 vs 1). QuickEditor's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickEditor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. iEditor asks for nothing beyond the download.

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iEditor has 189 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of iEditor's written reviews are positive against 13% of QuickEditor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iEditor ships an update every 7 months, QuickEditor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
