# Python Coding vs Jupyter Notebook

The clearest difference is rating: Python Coding at 4.8 against Jupyter Notebook's 3.9. Python Coding also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 40%) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 8). Jupyter Notebook's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python Coding sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Jupyter Notebook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Python Coding holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python Coding has 1.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Python Coding's written reviews are positive against 40% of Jupyter Notebook's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
