# SSH Client vs CertsCheck

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CertsCheck at 100% against SSH Client's 47%. CertsCheck also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6). SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (406 vs 4) and chart position (#145 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, 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 CertsCheck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
