# xTerminal vs DNS Checker Pro

The clearest difference is price: xTerminal at Free against DNS Checker Pro's $2.99. xTerminal also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 1) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). DNS Checker Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

xTerminal is free to download; DNS Checker Pro costs $2.99 up front. xTerminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. DNS Checker Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

DNS Checker Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xTerminal has 2K ratings behind it against 1, 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 100% of DNS Checker Pro's.
