# Eko vs The Code Runner Pro

The clearest difference is monetization model: Eko at free with in-app purchases against The Code Runner Pro's subscription. Eko also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 1) and chart position (#5 vs unranked). The Code Runner Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eko sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and The Code Runner Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Eko against 5.0 for The Code Runner Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eko has 11K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Eko ships an update fortnightly, The Code Runner Pro every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
