# Get Console vs Terminal

The clearest difference is rating: Terminal at 4.4 against Get Console's 2.8. Terminal also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (110 vs 34). Get Console's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Terminal sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Get Console asks for nothing beyond the download.

Terminal holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 34 and 110 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Get Console's written reviews are positive against 49% of Terminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Get Console ships an update every 3 months, Terminal every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
