# My Lisp vs Code App

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Code App at 301 against My Lisp's 17. Code App also leads on chart position (#3 vs #85) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). My Lisp's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $6.99). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

My Lisp costs $3.99 and Code App $6.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for My Lisp against 4.0 for Code App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code App has 301 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of My Lisp's written reviews are positive against 64% of Code App's.
