Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Flutter editor at daily against Code App's monthly. Flutter editor also leads on price ($3.99 vs $6.99) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Code App's advantage is chart position (#7 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
