# xTerminal vs Google Play Console

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Play Console at none against xTerminal's 4. Google Play Console also leads on ads (none vs shown). xTerminal's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 154) and review sentiment (69% vs 57%). On price, rating, update cadence and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. xTerminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Google Play Console asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for xTerminal against 4.7 for Google Play Console. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xTerminal has 1.9K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of xTerminal's written reviews are positive against 57% of Google Play Console's.

xTerminal ships an update every 3 weeks, Google Play Console every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
