# xTerminal vs Dashboard for Cloudflare

The clearest difference is ads: Dashboard for Cloudflare at none against xTerminal's shown. Dashboard for Cloudflare also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). xTerminal's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 3) and chart position (#48 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. xTerminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Dashboard for Cloudflare sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
