# Python IDE & Jupyter vs Jupyter Notebook

The clearest difference is rating: Python IDE & Jupyter at 4.6 against Jupyter Notebook's 3.9. Python IDE & Jupyter also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 8) and review sentiment (59% vs 40%). Jupyter Notebook's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#44 vs #143). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python IDE & Jupyter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Jupyter Notebook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Python IDE & Jupyter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python IDE & Jupyter has 1.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Python IDE & Jupyter's written reviews are positive against 40% of Jupyter Notebook's.

Python IDE & Jupyter ships an update every 5 weeks, Jupyter Notebook fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
