# CodeMaster vs Hodor

The clearest difference is monetization model: Hodor at free with in-app purchases against CodeMaster's subscription. Hodor also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 44%). CodeMaster's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (140 vs 23). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CodeMaster sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Hodor sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CodeMaster holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CodeMaster has 140 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of CodeMaster's written reviews are positive against 73% of Hodor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CodeMaster ships an update monthly, Hodor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
