CKEditor 5 vs Jodit

CKEditor 5 is a TypeScript and JavaScript framework for building WYSIWYG rich-text editing experiences. Its editing tools cover text formatting, images, media embeds, links, tables, and lists, with HTML or Markdown output. Collaboration features include comments, change tracking, restricted editing, and revision history. It can export content to PDF or Word and import DOCX documents. Official integrations are documented for Angular, React, Next.js, Nuxt, Vue, Salesforce, Svelte, Spring Boot, jQuery, SharePoint SPFx, and Drupal. Setup options include npm, CDN, and ZIP. The self-hosted editor can be used without an account under the GPL, subject to compliance, and displays a Powered by CKEditor logo; commercial self-hosting requires a custom plan and sales contact. A free plan includes 1,000 monthly editor loads, then $60 per extra 1,000. Paid plans start at $144 per month billed annually, and a 14-day premium-features trial requires no credit card. Cloud plans count monthly loads, charge for additional blocks of 1,000, and do not roll unused loads over.

Jodit is a TypeScript WYSIWYG editor for web, self-hosted, and API deployments. Its free MIT-licensed core includes more than 70 built-in plugins, custom toolbar and theming options, and semantic HTML output. The editor supports table editing and media handling, including images added by upload, URL, file browser, or base64 data URI, plus iframe, video, and audio elements. The maker describes Jodit as dependency-free with a minified size under 400 KB. Framework examples include React, Angular, Vue, Yii2, Joomla, TypeScript, and JavaScript, with integrations for elFinder, a Node.js connector, and AWS S3 uploads. Jodit PRO adds PDF export, Word and Excel paste, autocomplete, mentions, and a file finder. Self-hosted use collects no telemetry, and license validation runs locally. The free plan costs nothing.
