Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HTML Viewer Q at 4.4 against Web Inspector's 2.9. HTML Viewer Q also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 30) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 22 months). Web Inspector's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 45%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HTML Viewer Q holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Viewer Q has 2.7K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Web Inspector's written reviews are positive against 45% of HTML Viewer Q's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Web Inspector ships an update every 22 months, HTML Viewer Q every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
