# Lessr vs zEdit

The clearest difference is update cadence: zEdit at every 3 days against Lessr's fortnightly. zEdit also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 5). Lessr's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lessr sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and zEdit sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lessr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: zEdit has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Lessr's written reviews are positive against 89% of zEdit's.

Lessr ships an update fortnightly, zEdit every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
