Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PortX at none against Codye's 3. Codye's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Codye sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. PortX asks for nothing beyond the download.
Codye holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Codye's written reviews are positive against 73% of PortX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Codye ships an update weekly, PortX monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
