# SSH Client vs SSHUI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SSHUI at 100% against SSH Client's 47%. SSHUI also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.6). SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (406 vs 3) and chart position (#116 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 SSHUI sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SSHUI holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 406 ratings behind it against 3, 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 100% of SSHUI's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
