Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Jupyter Notebook at Free against Code App's $6.99. Jupyter Notebook also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Code App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (64% vs 40%). On rating, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
