# SSH Term vs MySQL Client

The clearest difference is rating: MySQL Client at 5.0 against SSH Term's 4.2. MySQL Client also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and ads (none vs shown). SSH Term's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SSH Term sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and MySQL Client sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MySQL Client holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SSH Term has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of SSH Term's written reviews are positive against 100% of MySQL Client's.

SSH Term ships an update weekly, MySQL Client every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
