# PythonIDE vs 图标帝

The clearest difference is rating: PythonIDE at 4.8 against 图标帝's 4.2. PythonIDE also leads on ratings volume (39 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PythonIDE sells 17 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 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PythonIDE has 39 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of PythonIDE's written reviews are positive against 92% of 图标帝's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PythonIDE ships an update weekly, 图标帝 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
