# GitDrive vs Code

The clearest difference is update cadence: Code at every 2 days against GitDrive's every 4 weeks. GitDrive's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GitDrive 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.

GitDrive holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 41 and 33 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of GitDrive's written reviews are positive against 38% of Code's.

GitDrive ships an update every 4 weeks, Code every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
