Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DevBox at none against Python Coding's 3. DevBox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Python Coding's advantage is chart position (#30 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
