# Terminal# vs Python Editor App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Terminal# at 91% against Python Editor App's 20%. Terminal# also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Python Editor App's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (6.5K vs 153). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Terminal# sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month 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.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python Editor App has 6.5K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two.
