# Codemag vs AddToTheList

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AddToTheList at 57% against Codemag's 0%. AddToTheList also leads on rating (4.3 vs 1.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). Codemag's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Codemag sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 6 months and AddToTheList sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AddToTheList holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AddToTheList has 45 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Codemag's written reviews are positive against 57% of AddToTheList's.

Codemag ships an update every 12 months, AddToTheList fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
