Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iEditor at Free against Zource's $0.99. iEditor also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (189 vs 5). Zource's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 56%). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
iEditor is free to download; Zource costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iEditor holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iEditor has 189 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of iEditor's written reviews are positive against 75% of Zource'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, Zource every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
