# Text Editor vs HTML Viewer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Text Editor at 75% against HTML Viewer's 25%. Text Editor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). HTML Viewer's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and HTML Viewer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Viewer has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Text Editor's written reviews are positive against 25% of HTML Viewer's.

Text Editor ships an update every 4 days, HTML Viewer every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
