As answered by people managing Codegres.org and LetX.app.
LetX.app's answer:
Researchers, postgraduate students and academic staff writing papers, theses and grant proposals, along with the labs and university departments they work in. Usage concentrates around thesis submission and journal deadlines. A secondary audience is job-seekers and engineers using the CV and résumé templates.
LetX.app's answer:
Go with Gin for the API; React, TypeScript and CodeMirror 6 on the front end; Yjs CRDTs over WebSocket for real-time collaboration; PostgreSQL, Redis and S3 for storage and coordination; and SQS-queued compile workers running a full TeX Live distribution on AWS ECS Fargate.
LetX.app's answer:
LetX started because collaborative LaTeX was either expensive or private in name only. Overleaf's pricing scales with the people you write with, which is backwards for a thesis committee or a five-author paper. Then the AI-native editors arrived with a worse trade: faster tooling in exchange for unpublished work that might end up as training data.
LetX was built to refuse both: unlimited collaborators on every plan, and an explicit ai-train=no declaration. Launched 27 January 2026, it has grown to 5,700+ users at 440+ universities and research labs in 65+ countries, helped by the regional university thesis templates nobody else maintained.
LetX.app's answer:
Three things nothing else in the category combines. Collaboration is genuinely unmetered: every plan, including free, allows unlimited simultaneous collaborators, so cost never scales with the number of co-authors. The AI assistant runs the actual build and reads the actual error log, rather than producing LaTeX you paste elsewhere and debug yourself. And LetX declares ai-train=no, so unpublished research is never training data. The library is also unusually deep for regional needs: 1,000+ templates, including university-specific thesis formats most editors don't carry.
LetX.app's answer:
Overleaf's free plan allows one collaborator per project, and more collaborators means a higher plan. LetX gives unlimited collaborators free, with full history on Pro at $18/month, a separate Academic Pro plan at $9/month for verified students, faculty and university staff, and a Team plan at $20 per seat for labs and classes of 2 to 50 people.
Against the newer AI-native editors, the difference is what happens to your manuscript: LetX declares ai-train=no, and its privacy policy says your documents are never used to train AI models.
Against desktop editors like TeXstudio or Texmaker, there is nothing to install or maintain, and every co-author gets an identical environment.
LetX.app's answer:
In production since 27 January 2026. 5,700+ students and researchers at 440+ universities and research labs in 65+ countries sign up on their own; the largest groups are at BRAC University, UNAM, UC San Diego and the University of Windsor.

In LetX, collaborators are unlimited on the free plan, so inviting an advisor and committee members costs nothing extra. The research-team page mentions a supervisor reviewing drafts as part of a typical lab workflow, but it does not... - Source: dev.to / 14 days ago
That is the idea behind Lexi, the assistant built into LetX. According to the LetX site, it reads the whole project and the compile log, edits the source, and recompiles the PDF. The command /fix runs that loop. Examples on the Lexi page... - Source: dev.to / 14 days ago
If your team writes together in LetX, the free plan has unlimited collaborators, so everyone can work in the same project at the same time. The macros.tex habit works the same in any editor, so use whatever fits your team. - Source: dev.to / 14 days ago
