Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iTerminus at 4.5 against SSH Client's 3.6. SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (406 vs 16) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. SSH Client sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and iTerminus sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iTerminus holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 406 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of SSH Client's written reviews are positive against 33% of iTerminus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SSH Client ships an update every 2 weeks, iTerminus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
