Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Userscripts at none against xTerminal's 4. Userscripts also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (78% vs 69%). xTerminal's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 181). On price, update cadence, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. xTerminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Userscripts asks for nothing beyond the download.
xTerminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xTerminal has 1.9K ratings behind it against 181, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Userscripts's written reviews are positive against 69% of xTerminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Userscripts ships an update monthly, xTerminal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
