Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Web DevTools+ at none against HTML Creator's 3. Web DevTools+ also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). HTML Creator's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 2) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
