Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HTML Editor at 4.2 against RestForge's 1.3. HTML Editor also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (819 vs 4). RestForge's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HTML Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and RestForge sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
