# WebSSH vs SSHConsole

The clearest difference is ads: WebSSH at none against SSHConsole's shown. WebSSH also leads on chart position (#35 vs #189). SSHConsole's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebSSH sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and SSHConsole sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WebSSH ships an update every 2 weeks, SSHConsole weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
