Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HTML Pocket at 5.0 against HTML Viewer's 4.7. HTML Pocket also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). HTML Viewer's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
