Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: CodePin at free with in-app purchases against Expo Go Guide's subscription. CodePin also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Expo Go Guide's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
