# WebSSH vs Easy SSH

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Easy SSH at none against WebSSH's 3. Easy SSH also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). WebSSH's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 167) and review sentiment (86% vs 78%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for WebSSH against 4.7 for Easy SSH. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebSSH has 2.6K ratings behind it against 167, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of WebSSH's written reviews are positive against 78% of Easy SSH's.

WebSSH ships an update every 10 days, Easy SSH fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
