# SSH Client vs Subnet Ninja

The clearest difference is chart position: SSH Client at #22 against Subnet Ninja's unranked. Subnet Ninja's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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 Subnet Ninja sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
