WebPDF makes it easy to save webpages as PDFs you can keep, organize, and share. Browse to any page and save it as a PDF, or use the Share Sheet from Safari and other apps to send a webpage to WebPDF. Choose a full-page capture or a reader-friendly version, then adjust paper size, orientation, margins, and background before saving. Your saved PDFs stay in one simple library. Search by title or the text inside a PDF, switch between list and thumbnail views, sort your documents, and organize them into folders. Rename, share, merge, or delete PDFs whenever you need to. WebPDF also includes bookmarks, browsing history, find-in-page, and an option to open the current page in Safari. Everything is designed to help you keep useful webpages as durable, shareable documents.
Gwtar Viewer

Gwtar Viewer opens Gwtar archives — self-extracting single-file HTML that packs a web page with all of its images and styles into one .html file. Gwtar files do not work when opened directly in a browser: they need a server that answers Range requests, fetching just the parts of the file that are actually needed. Gwtar Viewer runs a local server on your device to provide exactly that, letting the archive's own rendering logic do the rest. Your files are never modified. It also works as a viewer for ordinary HTML files, not just Gwtar. ■ Features - Open and read Gwtar files (.html) - Files you open are kept as history cards with thumbnails for quick reopening - Page zoom, remembered per file - Light / dark themes, English / Japanese UI - One-tap deletion of site data stored by archives ■ Privacy Everything happens on your device. The only network traffic is between the app and its own local server. Nothing is ever sent or collected externally. ■ Open source Gwtar Viewer is open-source software under the 0BSD license. See the support URL. The Gwtar format was designed by Gwern Branwen (this app is an independent implementation).

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Gwtar Viewer at 14.0 against WebPDF's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
