The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Terminal# at 91% against SSH Client's 47%. Terminal# also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.6). SSH Client's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
