# Terminal# vs SSH App

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SSH App at none against Terminal#'s 8. SSH App also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). Terminal#'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (164 vs 4). On price, ads 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. SSH App asks for nothing beyond the download.

Terminal# holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Terminal# has 164 ratings behind it against 4, 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 75% of SSH App's.

Terminal# ships an update every 5 months, SSH App weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
