Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: DevTutor at every 2 weeks against Lua IDE Fresh Edition's every 8 months. DevTutor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Lua IDE Fresh Edition's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DevTutor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lua IDE Fresh Edition has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Lua IDE Fresh Edition's written reviews are positive against 88% of DevTutor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lua IDE Fresh Edition ships an update every 8 months, DevTutor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
