# SSH Client vs Firelog

The clearest difference is rating: Firelog at 4.6 against SSH Client's 3.6. Firelog also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 47%). SSH Client's advantage is ratings volume (406 vs 42) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). 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 Firelog sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Firelog holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Client has 406 ratings behind it against 42, 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 60% of Firelog's.

SSH Client ships an update every 2 weeks, Firelog fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
