# Mach Write vs Document Manager

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mach Write at 46% against Document Manager's 0%. Document Manager's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mach Write sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Document Manager sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Document Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Document Manager has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Mach Write's written reviews are positive against 0% of Document Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mach Write ships an update every 10 months, Document Manager every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
