Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EZText at none against iEditor's shown. EZText also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (78% vs 56%). iEditor's advantage is ratings volume (189 vs 27) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
