# xTerminal vs SchemaHD

The clearest difference is rating: xTerminal at 4.7 against SchemaHD's 3.0. xTerminal also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 2) and review sentiment (68% vs 50%). SchemaHD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. xTerminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and SchemaHD sells 7 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 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xTerminal has 2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of xTerminal's written reviews are positive against 50% of SchemaHD's.

xTerminal ships an update every 3 weeks, SchemaHD every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
