Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PythonIDE at 4.8 against Appboard's 4.3. PythonIDE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Appboard's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
