# Clone vs Code

The clearest difference is rating: Code at 4.0 against Clone's 3.0. Code also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Clone's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 38%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clone sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Code sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Code holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 33 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Clone's written reviews are positive against 38% of Code's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clone ships an update every 5 weeks, Code every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
