Console: Type JavaScript commands to debug, modify, and get information about your webpage. Sources: Read the webpage's source with syntax highlighting. Network: See a list of network requests made by the webpage, with headers and responses. Filter requests, or copy one as a cURL command.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Web Inspector at none against Pyto IDE's 4. Web Inspector also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 35%). Pyto IDE's advantage is ratings volume (995 vs 152). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
