# Python IDE & Jupyter vs CodePad

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CodePad at none against Python IDE & Jupyter's 1. CodePad also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Python IDE & Jupyter's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 3) and chart position (#33 vs #199). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python IDE & Jupyter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CodePad asks for nothing beyond the download.

CodePad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python IDE & Jupyter has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
