# Web Inspector vs Palm

The clearest difference is rating: Palm at 4.3 against Web Inspector's 2.9. Palm also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 22 months). Web Inspector's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Palm holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Web Inspector has 30 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Web Inspector's written reviews are positive against 50% of Palm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Web Inspector ships an update every 22 months, Palm daily. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
