Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Code App at 305 against MarkGit's 3. Code App also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). MarkGit's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $6.99) and review sentiment (80% vs 64%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Code App costs $6.99 and MarkGit $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Code App holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code App has 305 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Code App's written reviews are positive against 80% of MarkGit'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 monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
