Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Userscripts at free against Koder Code Editor's paid. Koder Code Editor's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 181) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Koder Code Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Koder Code Editor has 12K ratings behind it against 181, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Koder Code Editor's written reviews are positive against 78% of Userscripts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Koder Code Editor ships an update every 3 weeks, Userscripts monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
