Verdict

The call

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.
