# Aspect Cropper vs xTerminal

The clearest difference is ratings volume: xTerminal at 1.9K against Aspect Cropper's 24. xTerminal also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Aspect Cropper's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aspect Cropper sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and xTerminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

xTerminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xTerminal has 1.9K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Aspect Cropper's written reviews are positive against 69% of xTerminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Aspect Cropper ships an update every 2 months, xTerminal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
