# View Source Code vs HTML Creator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HTML Creator at 98% against View Source Code's 0%. HTML Creator also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). View Source Code's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. View Source Code sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and HTML Creator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HTML Creator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Creator has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
