# SSH Client vs Terminal#

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.

Both are free to download. SSH Client sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Terminal# sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Terminal# holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 406 and 153 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of SSH Client's written reviews are positive against 91% of Terminal#'s.

SSH Client ships an update every 2 weeks, Terminal# every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
