Verdict

The call

CSDN and HTML Viewer ++ both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 45% of CSDN's written reviews are positive against 0% of HTML Viewer ++'s. CSDN also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 48). HTML Viewer ++'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
