# Push Notification vs Code Editor

The clearest difference is monetization model: Push Notification at free with in-app purchases against Code Editor's subscription. Push Notification also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (67% vs 52%). Code Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Push Notification sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Code Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Code Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 58 and 94 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Push Notification's written reviews are positive against 52% of Code Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Push Notification ships an update fortnightly, Code Editor every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
