# Gravity vs Code Rain

The clearest difference is rating: Gravity at 4.5 against Code Rain's 3.8. Gravity also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 11). Code Rain's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gravity sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Code Rain sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gravity holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gravity has 35K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Gravity's written reviews are positive against 38% of Code Rain's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gravity ships an update fortnightly, Code Rain every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
