# Terminal# vs GDevelop

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Terminal# at 91% against GDevelop's 49%. Terminal# also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). GDevelop's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Terminal# sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and GDevelop sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Terminal# holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GDevelop has 2.3K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Terminal#'s written reviews are positive against 49% of GDevelop's.

Terminal# ships an update every 5 months, GDevelop every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
