# WebSSH vs Web Inspector

The clearest difference is rating: WebSSH at 4.7 against Web Inspector's 3.9. WebSSH also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 65%) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 152). Web Inspector's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebSSH sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Web Inspector asks for nothing beyond the download.

WebSSH holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebSSH has 2.5K ratings behind it against 152, 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 65% of Web Inspector's.

WebSSH ships an update every 10 days, Web Inspector weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
