# devtools vs HTML Creator

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.

Both are free to download. HTML Creator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. devtools asks for nothing beyond the download.

devtools holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Creator has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of devtools's written reviews are positive against 90% of HTML Creator's.
