Verdict

The call

SimpleHTTP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
