Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SSH Term at 4.2 against Astrysk's 3.0. SSH Term also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 2). Astrysk's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SSH Term holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Term has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of SSH Term's written reviews are positive against 67% of Astrysk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SSH Term ships an update weekly, Astrysk every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
