Just your document, rendered beautifully, ready to read from start to finish. Open a file, read it comfortably, and forward it to your team.

Clean Code — Syntax highlighting for 20+ languages including Python, Swift, Rust, and TypeScript. EXPORT AND SHARE Tap Export to convert your document and open the iOS Share Sheet instantly — send via Mail, Messages, Slack, or save to Files.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RC Markdown at none against Arcora's 1. RC Markdown also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). Arcora's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
