# SQLite database client vs Secure Terminal

The clearest difference is rating: Secure Terminal at 4.5 against SQLite database client's 3.0. Secure Terminal also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 50%) and ratings volume (61 vs 2). SQLite database client's advantage is chart position (#197 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SQLite database client sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Secure Terminal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Secure Terminal holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0.
