# Secure Terminal vs Docker Server Admin

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Secure Terminal at 85% against Docker Server Admin's 64%. Secure Terminal also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Docker Server Admin's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#176 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Secure Terminal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Docker Server Admin sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Docker Server Admin holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 61 and 144 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Secure Terminal's written reviews are positive against 64% of Docker Server Admin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Secure Terminal ships an update every 3 weeks, Docker Server Admin every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
