The clearest difference is price: Python IDE & Jupyter at Free against Zeitgeist's $1.99. Python IDE & Jupyter also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 24). Zeitgeist's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Python IDE & Jupyter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python IDE & Jupyter has 1.1K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Python IDE & Jupyter's written reviews are positive against 63% of Zeitgeist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
