Python Recipes vs Leaflet for Swift&Algorithm
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Python Recipes
This app provides runnable Python code examples and SQL queries for developers. It offers a quick reference for syntax and common tasks, with an option to edit and run your own code. Everything except running code works offline.
- Runnable Python code examples
- SQL query reference
- Code editing and execution
- Keyword reference
- Offline functionality (except code execution)
- Search within code

Tap Run and the real output appears right under the code, so you know it works before it goes into your project. No IDE, no setup, no account. 370+ short examples, one task each, with comments on the tricky parts. Over 90% run in the app with one tap. Names follow PEP 8, and the output shows every value. You know what you need, but not the exact syntax: • How do I drop duplicates from a list and keep the order? • How do I add a month to a date? • How do I pull a number out of a string with a regex? Each has a working example here. • 22 sections, including strings, dicts, classes, generators, match statements, exceptions, files, and design patterns. • What changed from Python 3.0 to 3.13, with before-and-after code: dict merging with | and |=, f"{x=}", asyncio.run, except*. • Keyword reference, 200+ entries: tap a word in the code to look it up. • 200+ SQL queries: JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, window functions; more than half run on a practice database. • Search looks inside the code: type defaultdict to find every example that uses it. • Edit an example and run your version, or write your own. • Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Everything except running code works offline. Free version: 320+ examples and queries, the full keyword reference, and 12 runs, 12 edits and up to 12 reference entries a day opened by tapping a word in the code (Python and SQL runs share one count). Full version: all examples and queries, unlimited edits and examples of your own, and up to 30 Python and 80 SQL runs a day. One-time purchase, no subscription. Built by a developer for developers. Maintained since 2015. WHAT'S NEW • Improved support for foldable phones and large screens.

Leaflet helps you learn Swift/SwiftUI and Data Structure/Algorithms better. Leaflet has four main functions: 【1】Algorithm Animation Visualization Through exquisite and intuitive animation demos, abstract algorithms and data structures are made visual — every step of execution is clearly visible. This is the core highlight of Leaflet. - Animation Demos: Carefully selected classic algorithms (sorting, searching, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, recursion, etc.) built with SwiftUI + Combine for smooth animations that make algorithm execution crystal clear. - Interactive Playback: Support play, pause, step forward / step backward, and adjustable playback speed — control your learning pace freely. - Data Structure Visualization: Arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs and other data structures are presented graphically; insert, delete, and traverse operations are intuitive at a glance. - Synchronized Code View: Animation demos are displayed alongside the corresponding Swift source code, letting you learn code while watching the animation — more efficient learning. - Complexity Analysis: Visually shows the time / space complexity trends of algorithms, helping you build performance-analysis thinking. Learning algorithms is no longer dry code reading, but a vivid visual experience — every algorithm becomes something you can "see and touch". 【2】Swift Tutorial - Swift one-hour micro class, quickly master the core knowledge points of Swift grammar - Swift5 complete tutorial covering all language features from beginner to advanced - Swift Code Style Guide for writing more standardized code - Swift design pattern practice 【3】Swift + SwiftUI + Combine SwiftUI's declarative UI paired with Combine's functional reactive framework — simple to learn, high-performance, and reliable, enabling developers to quickly build elegant applications. 【4】Algorithm Solutions Curated representative algorithm problems implemented in Swift, covering data structures and algorithm analysis to help you master algorithm complexity and performance analysis. Part of the application is based on the open source protocol from the following open source libraries, Gratitude: https://github.com/raywenderlich/swift-algorithm-club , Algorithms and data structures in Swift, with explanations! https://github.com/andyRon/swift-algorithm-club-cn, swift-algorithm-club's translation. Learn algorithms and data structures using Swift.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Leaflet for Swift&Algorithm at every 8 days against Python Recipes's monthly. Leaflet for Swift&Algorithm also leads on ratings volume (297 vs 83). Python Recipes's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Python Recipes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Leaflet for Swift&Algorithm sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Python Recipes against 4.6 for Leaflet for Swift&Algorithm. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 83 and 297 respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Python Recipes's written reviews are positive against 71% of Leaflet for Swift&Algorithm's.
Python Recipes ships an update monthly, Leaflet for Swift&Algorithm every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
