Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Enclave at Free against GoCoEdit's $8.99. Enclave also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). GoCoEdit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 27.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
