# Termius vs Userscripts

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.

Both are free to download. Termius sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month. Userscripts asks for nothing beyond the download.

Termius holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Termius has 20K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Termius's written reviews are positive against 78% of Userscripts's.

Termius ships an update fortnightly, Userscripts monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
