Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Go Programming Compiler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Codelet asks for nothing beyond the download.
Codelet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Codelet has 127 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Go Programming Compiler's written reviews are positive against 53% of Codelet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 16, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
