# PythonIDE Python 3 Code Editor vs 图标帝

The clearest difference is rating: PythonIDE Python 3 Code Editor at 4.8 against 图标帝's 4.2. PythonIDE Python 3 Code Editor also leads on chart position (#172 vs unranked) and ratings volume (44 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PythonIDE Python 3 Code Editor sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 图标帝 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PythonIDE Python 3 Code Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2.
