Kodex is an advanced code editor which brings powerful and desktop-class editor features to your iPad or iPhone: * Multi-caret editing, to quickly transform code selections. * Regex search and replace, with template matching and replace-all-matches. * Minimap which allows quick scroll navigation though the document. * Multiple window support * Syntax highlighting for over 150 languages. * Trackpad support with custom gestures to add cursors (ctrl+shift+click). * Auto complete feature (currently only for HTML). * Add as many guide columns as you wish (default 80 and 120 characters). * Configurable tab size (default 4 spaces), or insert spaces when pressing tab. * Draw hints for invisible characters such as new lines, tabs, and spaces. * Customizable key bindings, so you can configure Kodex to use the same key combos you are already used to. * Kodex smartly preserves your open documents so that your work stays as you left it between launches. * Light and Dark modes. Kodex is integrated with the Files app, so you can easily open files from any other app, and from your iCloud documents folder. You can launch Kodex QuickEdit from any file sharing view in any app to edit its contents without launching the main Kodex App (be aware this functionality depends on the host app implementing the sharing activity properly). Included are 10 editor themes, and several monospaced fonts for code editing (you can install your own preferred fonts using system profiles). Font size and line spacing are adjustable, so you can configure Kodex to best fit your preferred screen size, arrangement, and orientation. Kodex is not a compiler, and you can not build or run the code you edit from it. Think of Kodex as a NotePad++ or Sublime Text substitute for iPhone and iPad. Kodex is currently optimized for external keyboards, such as Apple's Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, or any bluetooth/USB keyboard. More virtual keyboard features will be added in a future version.

No new SDKs, no rewrites: point your existing OpenAI client at Promptoll and switch models with a single line. WHY PROMPTOLL • One API, every model. Drop-in OpenAI compatibility means your existing code just works. • One key for everything. Generate an API key and call any model — no separate accounts, no scattered billing. • Pay as you go.

Optionally let the gateway auto-route to the cheapest equivalent model and cut your bill. IN THE APP • Dashboard — your balance, request volume, token usage and spend at a glance. • Chat — talk to any model from your phone and switch instantly with the model picker. • API Keys — create, name and revoke keys in seconds. • Logs — inspect every request with a full model, latency and cost breakdown. • Settings — manage your account, language and routing preferences. BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS Promptoll speaks the OpenAI Chat Completions format, so it works out of the box with the OpenAI SDK, the Vercel AI SDK, LangChain and any OpenAI-compatible client. Use the same base URL and key across web, mobile and server. Start free, add credit when you need it, and keep every token accounted for.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Promptoll at none against Kodex's 1. Promptoll also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Kodex's advantage is chart position (#87 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
