Terminus SSH Terminal is free to download; iCTides costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iCTides holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Terminus SSH Terminal has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of iCTides's written reviews are positive against 100% of Terminus SSH Terminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iCTides ships an update every 7 months, Terminus SSH Terminal every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
