Why people look past iA Writer
Nothing on the record flags a reason to move. iA Writer publishes its pricing. People still switch over fit and workflow, and those are not things a catalogue entry can measure, which is what the comparisons below are for.
What you would be giving up
iA Writer is most often brought in for distraction free markdown writing on desktop and mobile, drafting and exporting long form text with focus mode. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If iA Writer is broadly right and the question is cost, the iA Writer pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the full directory lists everything.
iA Writer runs on macos, ios, ipados, android, web. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
