# WebSSH vs Bluetooth Terminal

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WebSSH at 86% against Bluetooth Terminal's 36%. WebSSH also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.3) and ads (none vs shown). Bluetooth Terminal's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebSSH sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Bluetooth Terminal sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WebSSH holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebSSH has 2.5K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of WebSSH's written reviews are positive against 36% of Bluetooth Terminal's.

WebSSH ships an update every 2 weeks, Bluetooth Terminal weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
