The clearest difference is in-app purchases: devtools at none against HTML Creator's 3. devtools also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). HTML Creator's advantage is ratings volume (80 vs 1) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
