Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: iEditor at Free against iEditor Pro's $4.99. iEditor also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 33%) and ratings volume (189 vs 16). iEditor Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On update cadence, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

iEditor is free to download; iEditor Pro costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iEditor Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iEditor has 189 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of iEditor's written reviews are positive against 33% of iEditor Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
