# Python3 IDE Fresh Edition vs PyPie for Python

The clearest difference is ads: Python3 IDE Fresh Edition at none against PyPie for Python's shown. Python3 IDE Fresh Edition also leads on ratings volume (426 vs 37) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). PyPie for Python's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python3 IDE Fresh Edition sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PyPie for Python sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PyPie for Python holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python3 IDE Fresh Edition has 426 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Python3 IDE Fresh Edition's written reviews are positive against 81% of PyPie for Python's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Python3 IDE Fresh Edition ships an update every 5 weeks, PyPie for Python every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
