Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Python Editor App at 4.1 against Code Editor's 3.2. Python Editor App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.5K vs 43). Code Editor's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Code Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Python Editor App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Python Editor App holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python Editor App has 6.5K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Code Editor's written reviews are positive against 20% of Python Editor App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
