# Hodor vs Python3ide

The clearest difference is monetization model: Hodor at free with in-app purchases against Python3ide's subscription. Hodor also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Python3ide's advantage is ratings volume (280 vs 23). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hodor sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Python3ide sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Hodor against 4.4 for Python3ide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python3ide has 280 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of Hodor's written reviews are positive against 50% of Python3ide's.

Hodor ships an update every 3 weeks, Python3ide every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
