# WebDebug vs Simple Hex Editor

The clearest difference is rating: WebDebug at 4.5 against Simple Hex Editor's 1.0. WebDebug also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (23 vs 2). Simple Hex Editor's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebDebug sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Simple Hex Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WebDebug holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebDebug has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of WebDebug's written reviews are positive against 25% of Simple Hex Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WebDebug ships an update every 2 months, Simple Hex Editor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
