Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 力扣 LeetCode at 4.9 against Code Editor's 3.2. 力扣 LeetCode also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (42K vs 43). Code Editor's advantage is chart position (#99 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
