Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CSVReader at 4.6 against CSV File Viewer's 3.8. CSVReader also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 20). CSV File Viewer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 60%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CSVReader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CSV File Viewer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CSVReader holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CSVReader has 117 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of CSVReader's written reviews are positive against 90% of CSV File Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CSVReader ships an update every 2 months, CSV File Viewer every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
