# SSH Client vs Toolhub

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Toolhub at none against SSH Client's 3. SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SSH Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Toolhub asks for nothing beyond the download.

Toolhub holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
