# Code Land vs EV

The clearest difference is rating: Code Land at 4.5 against EV's 1.7. Code Land also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 3). EV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Code Land sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. EV asks for nothing beyond the download.

Code Land holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code Land has 1.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
