Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iWriters at none against Word Processor's 2. iWriters also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 42%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). Word Processor's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, ads 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
Both are free to download. Word Processor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. iWriters asks for nothing beyond the download.
Word Processor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Processor has 902 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of iWriters's written reviews are positive against 42% of Word Processor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iWriters ships an update every 17 months, Word Processor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
