# pythoni vs Python3IDE

The clearest difference is review sentiment: pythoni at 84% against Python3IDE's 33%. pythoni also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Python3IDE's advantage is chart position (#187 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. pythoni sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Python3IDE sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
