Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fileso at 4.8 against SSH Term's 4.2. Fileso also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 60%) and ads (none vs shown). SSH Term's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
