# WebSSH vs CertsCheck

The clearest difference is ratings volume: WebSSH at 2.5K against CertsCheck's 4. WebSSH also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and chart position (#25 vs unranked). CertsCheck's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads, 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 CertsCheck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CertsCheck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebSSH has 2.5K ratings behind it against 4, 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 100% of CertsCheck's.

WebSSH ships an update every 10 days, CertsCheck monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
