Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AcuEdit at 2.7 against FlorianiCN's 2.0. AcuEdit also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1). FlorianiCN's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 18%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AcuEdit holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AcuEdit has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of AcuEdit's written reviews are positive against 33% of FlorianiCN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AcuEdit ships an update every 8 months, FlorianiCN every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
