Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HTML Viewer at 94% against Htmllit's 67%. HTML Viewer also leads on ratings volume (63 vs 2). Htmllit's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Htmllit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year and HTML Viewer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Htmllit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Viewer has 63 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Htmllit's written reviews are positive against 94% of HTML Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Htmllit ships an update every 3 days, HTML Viewer every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
