Verdict

The call

HTML Viewer and HTML Creator both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 98% of HTML Creator's written reviews are positive against 25% of HTML Viewer's. HTML Creator also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (52 vs 9). HTML Viewer's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
