Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: View Source Premier at 4.1 against CodeDiff +'s 2.0. View Source Premier also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 1). CodeDiff +'s advantage is price ($3.99 vs $6.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

View Source Premier holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: View Source Premier has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of View Source Premier's written reviews are positive against 50% of CodeDiff +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

View Source Premier ships an update every 3 weeks, CodeDiff + every 7 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
