When you have an idea of your own, create a project in a blank workspace and keep developing it. A CLEAR NEXT STEP Today keeps you with the path and course you are already taking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Seneca at none against CodePaw's 1. Seneca also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). CodePaw's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
