# e vs Code

The clearest difference is price: e at Free against Code's $3.99. e also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). Code's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and chart position (#97 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

e is free to download; Code costs $3.99 up front. Code sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. e asks for nothing beyond the download.

e holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

e ships an update every 11 months, Code every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
