Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dev Q at Free against Code App's $6.99. Dev Q also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (100% vs 64%). Code App's advantage is ratings volume (301 vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
