Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: HTML Keep at free against HTML Viewer's freemium. HTML Keep also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). HTML Viewer's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
