Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Code at Free against CodeXplore's $2.99. Code also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). CodeXplore's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 12). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
