Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WebSSH at 4.5 against ShellBean's 4.1. WebSSH also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). ShellBean's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ShellBean sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month 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 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 39 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of ShellBean's written reviews are positive against 81% of WebSSH's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ShellBean ships an update every 6 days, WebSSH monthly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
