# TablePlus vs SSH Client

The clearest difference is rating: TablePlus at 4.4 against SSH Client's 3.6. TablePlus also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 47%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (406 vs 78). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TablePlus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and SSH Client sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TablePlus holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 406 ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of TablePlus's written reviews are positive against 47% of SSH Client's.

TablePlus ships an update weekly, SSH Client every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
