# Haptics vs Terminux

The clearest difference is price: Terminux at Free against Haptics's $0.99. Terminux also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Haptics's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (57% vs 36%). On ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Terminux is free to download; Haptics costs $0.99 up front. Terminux sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Haptics asks for nothing beyond the download.

Terminux holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Terminux has 83 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Haptics's written reviews are positive against 36% of Terminux's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Haptics ships an update every 3 months, Terminux every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
