Prompt 3 is our #1 fully-native terminal emulator for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and now, Apple Vision Pro! Yes, with one purchase, you get four platforms. Supporting SSH, Mosh, Eternal Terminal, Telnet, and Local Shells (on Mac), you can stay connected even on the most unstable networks. And with Panic Sync, your servers sync everywhere. For terminals, this is the only app you need. NOW EVEN BETTER: • SSH, Telnet, and Local (for Mac) Rock-solid and reliable connectivity to your hosts. • Mosh and Eternal Terminal Keep your terminal open even when you get disconnected. Mosh is optimized for high-latency, low-throughput networks. Eternal Terminal is great for when you need to keep your full terminal history on a flaky connection. • Lower Price Everything is so expensive right now. So we made Prompt cheaper. Take that, capitalism. • Superfast Emulation We retooled the text engine in Prompt 3 to be up to 10x faster, including GPU acceleration, and with improved terminal emulation, you can run nvim inside tmux without breaking a sweat. • Clips Put your most-used commands and text bits into clips and access them with a single tap via Prompt’s keyboard bar. Clips can be stored globally or per-server. • Secure Enclave Authenticate with FaceID and TouchID. The keys will stay secure on your device. • Panic Sync Sync your favorite servers, passwords, private keys, and clips, between Prompt on all of your devices. • Customizable Make Prompt perfect with new themes, fonts, and a very configurable iOS keyboard. • Jump Hosts and Agent Forwarding Access corporate servers, even at the beach. • Mouse Support Use your mouse to interact with TUI-based apps that run through the terminal. AND YES, A DARK ICON. What more can we say? TAKE CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE, INCLUDING YOUR MAC AND APPLE VISION PRO. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY PROMPT 3. © Panic EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Site Config can help creating text extraction rules compatible with FiveFilters, Fiery Feeds and Paper Press. You can visually pick or hide specific elements to filter which parts you want to include in the output and which you want to hide. - Web View - You can view the web version of the site and visually pick elements using the selection tool to mark them either as content or to hide them. It can alternatively also show the HTML content of the target site. - Rules View - The rules view shows the textual representation of the created views and allows for more developer centric editing of the rules. This view is optional and can be hidden if you don’t need it. - Preview - Shows the live results of the created rules applied to the loaded website, either as article, as HTML or as a list of found metadata. - Intelligence - You can use Apple Intelligence, if supported on your device, or 3rd party providers like Claude or OpenAI, if you bring your own API key to automatically create the rules for a given website. - Siri Shortcuts - You can use Site Config to fetch the content from websites in Siri Shortcuts

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Site Config at none against Prompt 3's 2. Site Config also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.4 vs 26.0). Prompt 3's advantage is chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
