CodeEdit vs CodeMirror
Both stand on code editors. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan Mac
Choose CodeEdit if you want a free, open-source macOS editor with debugging, language server support and a broad set of coding tools. Look elsewhere for production-ready use, since the project says CodeEdit is still in development and is not yet recommended for production.

CodeMirror provides a broad set of editing features in a web editor component, with extensions for adding capabilities. Its MIT license permits commercial use, though the project socially expects commercial users to help fund maintenance.
