Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Code Land at 4.5 against Begin Learning's 3.9. Code Land also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 16) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Begin Learning's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
