Verdict
Pythonica and Python+ both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pythonica's written reviews are positive against 75% of Python+'s. Pythonica also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.5). Python+'s advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
