Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WebDebug at 4.5 against Simple Hex Editor's 1.7. WebDebug also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (24 vs 3). Simple Hex Editor's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (20% vs 10%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WebDebug holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebDebug has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of WebDebug's written reviews are positive against 20% of Simple Hex Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WebDebug ships an update every 2 months, Simple Hex Editor every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
