# SSH Client vs Fonts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SSH Client at 94% against Fonts's 48%. SSH Client also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 102). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SSH Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Fonts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SSH Client holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 1.6K ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of SSH Client's written reviews are positive against 48% of Fonts's.

SSH Client ships an update weekly, Fonts every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
