Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Docker Server Admin at none against Terminal & SSH's shown. Docker Server Admin also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and chart position (#198 vs unranked). Terminal & SSH's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (85% vs 64%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
