# Python Programming Interpreter vs PySpire

The clearest difference is rating: PySpire at 5.0 against Python Programming Interpreter's 3.1. PySpire also leads on ads (none vs shown). Python Programming Interpreter's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python Programming Interpreter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PySpire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PySpire holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python Programming Interpreter has 43 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
