# SSH Client vs MyServers

The clearest difference is rating: SSH Client at 4.8 against MyServers's 4.1. SSH Client also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (94% vs 69%). MyServers's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SSH Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and MyServers sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 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 1.5K ratings behind it against 18, 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 69% of MyServers's.

SSH Client ships an update weekly, MyServers every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
