What founders and directors
say about us
TinyMCE should be at the top of any list if you're looking for a visual text editor. It’s flexible, integrates well with different systems and is extremely stable.
Rob Wells
CEO, DDSN Interactive
I’ve worked with a lot of different editors, but TinyMCE was the simplest to implement. The amount of functionality you get right out of the box would be foolhardy to try and recreate.
Tim Craver
Manager of Development, Allied Solutions
Our user engagement numbers are up, our average customer value is up, and our churn rate is down compared to before we started using TinyMCE.
Geoff McQueen
CEO, Accelo
We’re very satisfied with TinyMCE’s features, functionality, ease of integration, and the impeccable support team. TinyMCE has removed enormous overhead from our journalists and allowed them to focus more on getting the actual story.
Paul Alexandrescu
Technical Director, Thomson Reuters
TinyMCE satisfied our needs at a competitive cost, and we were able to integrate it without restructuring our product. TinyMCE is perfect for what we’re trying to accomplish.
Chris Burd
Vice President of policyIQ, RGP
We really wanted something supported by a community of millions, where we knew everything had been tried, tested and validated.
Justin Witz
CTO and Co-Founder, Catapult
Just reducing the number of support tickets has been great. If there are fewer problems to solve, then I can focus on developing new features for our software and helping to push us ahead of our competitors.
Simon Reinhard
Senior Software Developer, Hype Innovation

+ Estimate of the cost of building the basic open source components of three leading rich text editors (excluding advanced features, maintenance and extensibility work)
^ Using a normalized COCOMO Model, the estimated engineering requirements for building a single clean copy-paste advanced feature (excludes maintenance and extensibility work)
A person-month is equivalent to approximately 160 hours of labor, and is the amount of work performed by a single average worker in one month (ie. 12 person-month project will take 4 developers 3 months work to finish). A person-year is the total effort in person-months divided by twelve, to estimate the project length in years.
