Verdict

Both are free to download. ServerCat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. SimpleHTTP asks for nothing beyond the download.
SimpleHTTP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerCat has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of ServerCat's written reviews are positive against 0% of SimpleHTTP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ServerCat ships an update every 5 days, SimpleHTTP every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
