# ServerCat vs Easy SSH

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Easy SSH at none against ServerCat's 3. ServerCat's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (1K vs 85). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ServerCat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Easy SSH asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for ServerCat against 4.6 for Easy SSH. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerCat has 1K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 77% and 78% positive.

ServerCat ships an update every 5 days, Easy SSH fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
