# Pyto IDE vs Web Inspector

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.

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

Web Inspector holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyto IDE has 995 ratings behind it against 152, 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 65% of Web Inspector's.
