# SplashLearn vs Code Land

The clearest difference is ratings volume: SplashLearn at 32K against Code Land's 1.6K. SplashLearn also leads on chart position (#73 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SplashLearn sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Code Land sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for SplashLearn against 4.5 for Code Land. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SplashLearn has 32K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of SplashLearn's written reviews are positive against 65% of Code Land's.

SplashLearn ships an update every 9 days, Code Land every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
