# HTML Viewer & Editor vs Visual Code Editor

HTML Viewer & Editor and Visual Code Editor both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of HTML Viewer & Editor's written reviews are positive against 50% of Visual Code Editor's. Visual Code Editor's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HTML Viewer & Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Visual Code Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for HTML Viewer & Editor against 5.0 for Visual Code Editor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Code Editor has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of HTML Viewer & Editor's written reviews are positive against 50% of Visual Code Editor's.

HTML Viewer & Editor ships an update every 3 weeks, Visual Code Editor monthly. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
