# Charge the Robot vs Code Land

The clearest difference is update cadence: Code Land at every 3 weeks against Charge the Robot's every 4 months. Code Land also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 63) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Charge the Robot's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Charge the Robot sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Code Land sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Code Land holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code Land has 1.6K ratings behind it against 63, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Charge the Robot's written reviews are positive against 65% of Code Land's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Charge the Robot ships an update every 4 months, Code Land every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
