# DocAssistant vs Code Status

The clearest difference is update cadence: Code Status at every 5 days against DocAssistant's fortnightly. Code Status also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). DocAssistant's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DocAssistant sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $79.99 per month and Code Status sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Code Status holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 31 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

DocAssistant ships an update fortnightly, Code Status every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
