# SSH Client vs SwiftTermApp

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SwiftTermApp at 100% against SSH Client's 47%. SwiftTermApp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (407 vs 4) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SSH Client sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. SwiftTermApp asks for nothing beyond the download.

SwiftTermApp holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 407 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of SSH Client's written reviews are positive against 100% of SwiftTermApp's.
