# SSH Client vs flipdisc

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: flipdisc at none against SSH Client's 3. flipdisc also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.4). SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and chart position (#25 vs unranked). On price, ads 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. flipdisc asks for nothing beyond the download.

flipdisc holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
