Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GoCoEdit at 4.5 against JSitor's 3.6. GoCoEdit also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 45%) and ratings volume (122 vs 30). JSitor's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $8.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
