# Code! Learn Swift Version vs NSScreencast

The clearest difference is rating: NSScreencast at 4.9 against Code! Learn Swift Version's 4.4. Code! Learn Swift Version's advantage is ratings volume (6.7K vs 117) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Code! Learn Swift Version sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and NSScreencast sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NSScreencast holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code! Learn Swift Version has 6.7K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 87% and 87% positive.

Code! Learn Swift Version ships an update every 3 weeks, NSScreencast every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
