Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Termius at 4.7 against Web Inspector's 3.9. Termius also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 152) and review sentiment (81% vs 65%). Web Inspector's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
