# OpenTerm vs MyServers

The clearest difference is price: MyServers at Free against OpenTerm's $4.99. MyServers also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (69% vs 44%). OpenTerm's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (188 vs 18). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

MyServers is free to download; OpenTerm costs $4.99 up front. OpenTerm sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MyServers sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for OpenTerm against 4.1 for MyServers. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenTerm has 188 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of OpenTerm's written reviews are positive against 69% of MyServers's.

OpenTerm ships an update every 2 months, MyServers every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
