Lightning fast SSH terminal with remote file access. No other app fuses your SSH servers and iOS devices as well as Secure ShellFish. Tap Get and see for yourself. Terminal supports standard text editing gestures for selection, scrolling and copy/paste as well as custom gestures to send arrow keys and tabulator making shell entry and full screen editing with vim or emacs delightful. Bar above the keyboard makes it easy to type special keys and insert snippets. Select and drag filenames out of the terminal as actual files and drag files from other apps into the terminal to upload. Use built-in tmux support to persist terminal sessions if you lose Internet access, pick existing sessions with thumbnails and Handoff sessions between devices. Server file system is available in the Files app and recently accessed files and directories are cached to make them available when offline. Use apps like Textastic and iA Writer for a native editing experience working on your remote server files. Upload files or entire directories from the share sheet with minimal friction as the last destination directory for each kind of file is remembered or automate file transfers in the Shortcuts app. Connect to your Mac, Synology NAS and any other SSH server or create new Digital Ocean droplets right from the app. Secure ShellFish is useful as a free app and paying pro users can disable ads in the terminal, upload through the Files app and configure unlimited number of servers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SSH Client at 4.8 against Applausible's 3.7. SSH Client also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SSH Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Applausible 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 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 1.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of SSH Client's written reviews are positive against 100% of Applausible's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SSH Client ships an update weekly, Applausible every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
