# Pyto IDE vs Userscripts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Userscripts at 78% against Pyto IDE's 35%. Userscripts also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). Pyto IDE's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (995 vs 181). On price, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pyto IDE sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Userscripts asks for nothing beyond the download.

Userscripts holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyto IDE has 995 ratings behind it against 181, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Pyto IDE's written reviews are positive against 78% of Userscripts's.

Pyto IDE ships an update every 8 days, Userscripts monthly. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
