Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Syntactic at none against Python Coding's 3. Syntactic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Python Coding's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). On price, 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
Both are free to download. Python Coding sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Syntactic asks for nothing beyond the download.
Syntactic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python Coding has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
