Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Userscripts at none against Termius's 4. Userscripts also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Termius's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (20K vs 190). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
