# Code! Learn Swift Version vs Learn to Code

The clearest difference is rating: Learn to Code at 4.9 against Code! Learn Swift Version's 4.4. Code! Learn Swift Version's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 71%) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 601). On price, update cadence, 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 Learn to Code sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Learn to Code 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 601, 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 71% of Learn to Code's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Code! Learn Swift Version ships an update every 3 weeks, Learn to Code every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
