2. What does "free" actually cost?
Is your time “free”?
Ever downloaded a free editor and spent days trying to set it up – only to give up and move on… UltraEdit is easy-to-use and optimized “out of the box” for the features you use most.
Does functionality matter?
Does the editor do what you need it to? We understand your problems and your challenges… UltraEdit has more features than any other editor available. If you have a need, we have a solution.
Compatibility with updates?
Will “free” keep pace with system updates? Text editing is our focus – all day, every day – so we are constantly improving performance and adding enhancements to ensure that you receive timely-updates to leverage new/changing technologies.
Can you afford to give up reliability?
Does a free editor have rigid quality standards? As commercial publishers, we have dedicated QA personnel and rigid QA processes to ensure you can trust in UE’s reliability.
Are you willing to sacrifice stability?
Crashes, bugs, corrupted data, errors… all waste time, money, and energy. Not with UltraEdit, UltraEdit has been actively developed for 16+ years making it a highly seasoned and stable product.
Imitation vs innovation?
Does “free” offer cutting-edge improvements? Time and time again, UltraEdit’s features/implementations are copied by other “free” editors – why waste your time with something that is always a step behind when you can have the original.
