Verdict

The call

YouTrack and Code Review both sit at 3.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 38% of YouTrack's written reviews are positive against 14% of Code Review's. YouTrack also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 4). Code Review's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 15.1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
