How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Free-plan availability and the paid-from price offer additional points of comparison. CKEditor 5, TinyMCE and Tiptap are the first entries, with AiEditor and BlockNote also near the top. The ranking orders the options, while the listed criteria let you assess which editors align with your implementation needs and the kinds of content people will create.
