Comparison
Toolenza vs StackEdit
Two ways to live markdown ⇄ html preview. Here's the honest side-by-side.
Toolenza
Markdown Preview
- Free forever — no signup wall
- Browser-only by default (your files never leave your device)
- Ad-light, with no upsells in your workflow
- Open API + embeddable widget
StackEdit
stackedit.io ↗Strengths
- Live preview with split view
- Custom CSS theme support
- Syncs with Google Drive / Dropbox / GitHub
Tradeoffs
- Heavy load time
- Occasional sync auth bugs
- No offline-first mode in the free version
The verdict
StackEdit is the power-user Markdown editor with full cloud sync. Toolenza is faster to open and includes a side-by-side render, skipping the cloud-sync features for simplicity.
