Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GLookUp at Free against Mobile Web Server's $2.99. GLookUp also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Mobile Web Server's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
