Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HTML Creator at 90% against HTML Editor's 22%. HTML Creator also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). HTML Editor's advantage is ratings volume (819 vs 80) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position 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 HTML Creator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HTML Creator holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Editor has 819 ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of HTML Editor's written reviews are positive against 90% of HTML Creator's.
HTML Editor ships an update every 3 months, HTML Creator every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
