Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WebSocket Client at 100% against STL Simple Viewer's 18%. WebSocket Client also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). STL Simple Viewer's advantage is ratings volume (923 vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 30 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. STL Simple Viewer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. WebSocket Client asks for nothing beyond the download.
STL Simple Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STL Simple Viewer has 923 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of WebSocket Client's written reviews are positive against 18% of STL Simple Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WebSocket Client ships an update every 30 months, STL Simple Viewer every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
