# xTerminal vs Resolutioner

The clearest difference is price: xTerminal at Free against Resolutioner's $0.99. xTerminal also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 63 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Resolutioner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (79% vs 69%). On ratings volume, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

xTerminal is free to download; Resolutioner costs $0.99 up front. xTerminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Resolutioner sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

xTerminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.9K and 868 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of xTerminal's written reviews are positive against 79% of Resolutioner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

xTerminal ships an update every 3 weeks, Resolutioner every 63 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
