Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: gcc at 100% against Python Compiler's 50%. gcc also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.0). Python Compiler's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
