# SteerCode vs Python Sandbox

The clearest difference is price: SteerCode at Free against Python Sandbox's $0.99. SteerCode also leads on rating (4.3 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (145 vs 1). Python Sandbox's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads there is nothing between them.

SteerCode is free to download; Python Sandbox costs $0.99 up front. SteerCode sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days. Python Sandbox asks for nothing beyond the download.

SteerCode holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SteerCode has 145 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
