Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pegasus at 100% against Terminal's 49%. Pegasus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Terminal's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Terminal holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Terminal has 110 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pegasus's written reviews are positive against 49% of Terminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pegasus ships an update every 3 months, Terminal every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
