Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Code at Free against CodeDiff +'s $3.99. Code also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months). CodeDiff +'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and review sentiment (50% vs 38%). On ads, device support and iOS requirement 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
Code is free to download; CodeDiff + costs $3.99 up front. Code sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. CodeDiff + asks for nothing beyond the download.
Code holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Code's written reviews are positive against 50% of CodeDiff +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Code ships an update every 2 days, CodeDiff + every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
