Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HTTPBot at 4.5 against Dev Keyboard's 1.0. HTTPBot also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). Dev Keyboard's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HTTPBot holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTTPBot has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of HTTPBot's written reviews are positive against 67% of Dev Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HTTPBot ships an update every 3 weeks, Dev Keyboard every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
