# SSH Client vs WebSSH

The clearest difference is rating: WebSSH at 4.5 against SSH Client's 3.6. WebSSH also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 47%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (406 vs 39) and chart position (#76 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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 WebSSH sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WebSSH 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 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of SSH Client's written reviews are positive against 81% of WebSSH's.

SSH Client ships an update every 2 weeks, WebSSH monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
