ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

codeFarm holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: intelino scratch has 45 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of codeFarm's written reviews are positive against 68% of intelino scratch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

codeFarm ships an update every 2 weeks, intelino scratch every 31 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
