Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LeetCode at 4.8 against IEEE's 4.1. LeetCode also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 7%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). IEEE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement 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. LeetCode sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $35.00 per month. IEEE asks for nothing beyond the download.
LeetCode holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LeetCode has 626 ratings behind it against 123, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 7% of IEEE's written reviews are positive against 44% of LeetCode's.
IEEE ships an update every 5 weeks, LeetCode fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
