Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CodeSnippet PRO at Free against Code App's $6.99. CodeSnippet PRO also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). Code App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and chart position (#5 vs unranked). On ads there is nothing between them.
