Codeanywhere vs PythonAnywhere: What are the differences?
Codeanywhere: Online code editor, available on iOS, Android and more. Integrates with GitHub and Dropbox. A development platform that enables you to not only edit your files from underlying services like FTP, GitHub, Dropbox and the like, but on top of that gives you the ability to collaborate, embed and share through Codeanywhere on any device; PythonAnywhere: Micro PaaS for Python web apps. Develop and host Python from your browser. It's somewhat unique. A small PaaS that supports web apps (Python only) as well as scheduled jobs with shell access. It is an expensive way to tinker and run several small apps.
Codeanywhere and PythonAnywhere are primarily classified as "Cloud IDE" and "Platform as a Service" tools respectively.
"Sleek interface" is the primary reason why developers consider Codeanywhere over the competitors, whereas "Web apps" was stated as the key factor in picking PythonAnywhere.
