# GoCoEdit vs LaTeX Editor Tex Pro

The clearest difference is price: LaTeX Editor Tex Pro at Free against GoCoEdit's $8.99. LaTeX Editor Tex Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 122). GoCoEdit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (78% vs 51%). On update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

LaTeX Editor Tex Pro is free to download; GoCoEdit costs $8.99 up front. LaTeX Editor Tex Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. GoCoEdit asks for nothing beyond the download.

LaTeX Editor Tex Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LaTeX Editor Tex Pro has 1.6K ratings behind it against 122, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of GoCoEdit's written reviews are positive against 51% of LaTeX Editor Tex Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
