Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: HTML Viewer Pro at Free against Notepad Pro's $1.99. HTML Viewer Pro also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 25%) and ratings volume (45 vs 3). Notepad Pro's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Notepad Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Viewer Pro has 45 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Notepad Pro's written reviews are positive against 47% of HTML Viewer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notepad Pro ships an update every 2 months, HTML Viewer Pro every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
