# Code Karts vs Whiskey the spider

The clearest difference is update cadence: Whiskey the spider at every 9 days against Code Karts's every 4 months. Whiskey the spider also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (10.1 vs 12.0). Code Karts's advantage is ratings volume (147 vs 24). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Code Karts sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Whiskey the spider sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Whiskey the spider holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code Karts has 147 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Code Karts's written reviews are positive against 54% of Whiskey the spider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Code Karts ships an update every 4 months, Whiskey the spider every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
