The clearest difference is update cadence: ServerBox at fortnightly against BTerm's every 5 months. ServerBox also leads on ratings volume (93 vs 3) and device support (5 vs 3). BTerm's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
