In their own words
Overleaf
Overleaf is an online platform for writing, compiling, and revising LaTeX documents with collaborators. Writers can choose a Visual Editor or a Code Editor, while shared documents support simultaneous editing and comments, plus in-document chat. Free templates and example projects cover journal articles, theses, and CVs. Listed connections and add-ons include Git and GitHub synchronization, Dropbox, ReadCube, Zotero, Mendeley, knitr for R code, and Grammarly. Google Drive content can be imported into projects, but Overleaf does not sync directly with Drive. The free plan costs nothing and allows unlimited projects with one collaborator per project. Student and Standard permit 10 collaborators per project, and Pro permits unlimited collaborators; no prices are listed for those tiers. An Organizations plan is described for 20+ users. A seven-day trial gives access to the selected plan, with the card charged afterward unless canceled. Overleaf was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Listed platforms are extension, self-hosted, and web.
Papeeria
Papeeria is an online LaTeX editor for writing and compiling documents, including projects that mix LaTeX and Markdown. It compiles projects in the background and provides a full TeX Live environment in the browser. Editing tools include real-time collaboration, margin discussions, autocompletion, spellchecking, and an instant math preview. Users can begin with templates for CVs, ACM journal papers, and math presentations, or make plots with built-in gnuplot or Plot.ly and run custom gnuplot scripts. Projects can be shared with read or write permissions, and collaborators can edit together, receive update notifications, and join without a set collaborator limit. Papeeria describes syncing with Git, Google Drive, and Dropbox; Mendeley integration is part of Delta. The free Epsilon plan costs nothing and has one active private project, unlimited public projects and collaborators, 24-hour file history, and Git sync for public repositories. Delta starts at $5/month and adds up to 10 active private projects, 30-day file history, and other features. The provider is BarD Software s.r.o., registered in Prague, Czechia.
