Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Q Codes at Free against SSHTerm's $0.99. Q Codes also leads on update cadence (every 8 months vs every 21 months). SSHTerm's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
