Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Python.io at none against Garden City Chapter 1's shown. Python.io also leads on rating (3.8 vs 3.4) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Garden City Chapter 1's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Garden City Chapter 1 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Python.io holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Python.io's written reviews are positive against 25% of Garden City Chapter 1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
