# Terminal# vs SSL Time

The clearest difference is monetization model: SSL Time at free with in-app purchases against Terminal#'s subscription. SSL Time also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Terminal#'s advantage is ratings volume (153 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Terminal# sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SSL Time sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SSL Time holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Terminal# has 153 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Terminal# ships an update every 5 months, SSL Time every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
