Both stand on editor software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free trial Windows
EditPlus brings web-oriented editing, remote file transfer and preview tools into a Windows desktop application. Its broad editing utilities and syntax support are balanced by the lack of built-in file comparison.

PSPad combines core code and text editing with web tools, macros, extensions and external compiler support at no listed price. Its Windows-only availability and text-only FTP transfer are worth considering before choosing it.
