Best for a LaTeX editor in the browser

Papeeria is a web editor for LaTeX and Markdown with real-time collaboration and Git sync. The free plan has one active private project, and the paid price is shown only as "starts from $5" with no billing period.

Who Papeeria is for

  • Fits if you write a thesis or paper in LaTeX and want it in the browser
  • Works for students who share public projects with classmates

Who Papeeria is not for

  • Tight if you stay free: one active private project and 24 hours of file history
  • Watch out: the pricing page says "starts from $5" and gives no billing period
  • Pricey if you need more private projects, as Delta adds up to 10 and extra quota costs more, with no price shown
  • Not for you if you want an app: only a browser version is listed

Why Papeeria gets a 2.2

Keep Papeeria, or make your own?

Your call

A writing app at its plainest is a page that saves what you type.

You could make the core of Papeeria for yourself: Markdown, templates and documents. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $60 a year.

What you could make

  • Markdown, templates and documents: an app builder makes these well.
  • It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.

What you could not

  • Several people working in it at the same moment.

What this rests on. Papeeria’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

What is Papeeria?

Papeeria is a browser-based editor for LaTeX and Markdown documents with a full TeX Live environment on the server. It adds shared editing, a plot builder, templates and Git sync. A free plan covers public projects and one private project.

Worth knowing

  • The free plan allows only one active private project.
  • The pricing page shows only a 'starts from $5/month' figure and does not state a billing period.
  • Delta can add more private-project quota for purchase, but prices for that are not shown.
