# SSH Client vs Private Web Browser

The clearest difference is rating: Private Web Browser at 4.8 against SSH Client's 3.6. Private Web Browser also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (406 vs 18) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Private Web Browser sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Private Web Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 406 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SSH Client ships an update every 3 weeks, Private Web Browser every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
