# DataCamp vs Learn to Code

The clearest difference is ads: Learn to Code at none against DataCamp's shown. DataCamp's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 601). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DataCamp sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $35.00 per month and Learn to Code sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for DataCamp against 4.9 for Learn to Code. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DataCamp has 4.8K ratings behind it against 601, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of DataCamp's written reviews are positive against 71% of Learn to Code's.

DataCamp ships an update fortnightly, Learn to Code every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
