# Code Editor vs RemoteIDE

The clearest difference is rating: RemoteIDE at 5.0 against Code Editor's 3.2. RemoteIDE also leads on ads (none vs shown). Code Editor's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 2) and chart position (#76 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Code Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RemoteIDE sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RemoteIDE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code Editor has 43 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
