Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LeetCode at 4.8 against freeCodeCamp's 3.8. LeetCode also leads on ratings volume (669 vs 79) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). freeCodeCamp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. LeetCode sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $35.00 per month. freeCodeCamp asks for nothing beyond the download.
LeetCode holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LeetCode has 669 ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of freeCodeCamp's written reviews are positive against 44% of LeetCode's.
freeCodeCamp ships an update monthly, LeetCode fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
