# Terminal & SSH vs Docker Server Admin

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 (#183 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.

Both are free to download. Terminal & SSH sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Docker Server Admin sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Docker Server Admin holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 105 and 144 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Terminal & SSH's written reviews are positive against 64% of Docker Server Admin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Terminal & SSH ships an update every 2 weeks, Docker Server Admin every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
