Both are free to download. SVG View sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Markdown゜ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Markdown゜ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Markdown゜ has 473 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Markdown゜'s written reviews are positive against 50% of SVG View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Markdown゜ ships an update every 6 weeks, SVG View monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
