# Code vs DevTutor

The clearest difference is price: DevTutor at Free against Code's $3.99. DevTutor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Code's advantage is chart position (#101 vs unranked) and ratings volume (14 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

DevTutor is free to download; Code costs $3.99 up front. Code sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and DevTutor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DevTutor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Code's written reviews are positive against 88% of DevTutor's.

Code ships an update every 6 weeks, DevTutor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
