# GoCoEdit vs QuickEditor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GoCoEdit at 78% against QuickEditor's 13%. GoCoEdit also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). QuickEditor's advantage is price (Free vs $8.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

QuickEditor is free to download; GoCoEdit costs $8.99 up front. QuickEditor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. GoCoEdit asks for nothing beyond the download.

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoCoEdit has 122 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of GoCoEdit's written reviews are positive against 13% of QuickEditor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GoCoEdit ships an update monthly, QuickEditor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
