Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: KoeCode at 100% against Pyto IDE's 35%. KoeCode also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (4.0 vs 3.7). Pyto IDE's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
