The clearest difference is review sentiment: Python IDE & Jupyter at 59% against Python Editor App's 20%. Python IDE & Jupyter also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1). Python Editor App's advantage is ratings volume (6.5K vs 1.1K) and chart position (#18 vs #126). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
