Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Visual Code Editor at Free against Code Browser's $3.99. Visual Code Editor also leads on chart position (#24 vs unranked). Code Browser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
