# WebSSH vs SSL Time

The clearest difference is update cadence: WebSSH at every 2 weeks against SSL Time's every 3 months. WebSSH also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 1) and chart position (#17 vs #195). SSL Time's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (17 vs 26.0). 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 SSL Time sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SSL Time 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WebSSH ships an update every 2 weeks, SSL Time every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
