Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Code! Learn Swift Version at none against Learn to Code's shown. Code! Learn Swift Version also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 10) and review sentiment (87% vs 67%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Code! Learn Swift Version sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Learn to Code sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Learn to Code holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code! Learn Swift Version has 6.7K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Code! Learn Swift Version's written reviews are positive against 67% of Learn to Code's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Code! Learn Swift Version ships an update every 3 weeks, Learn to Code every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
