# HTML Creator vs Expose HTTP Server

The clearest difference is rating: Expose HTTP Server at 5.0 against HTML Creator's 4.6. Expose HTTP Server also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). HTML Creator's advantage is ratings volume (80 vs 1) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HTML Creator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Expose HTTP Server sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Expose HTTP Server 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.

HTML Creator ships an update every 4 weeks, Expose HTTP Server fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
