Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Passphrase at none against SSH Term's 4. Passphrase also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). SSH Term's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 29 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
