# Termius vs Web Inspector

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.

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

Termius holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Termius has 19K ratings behind it against 152, 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 65% of Web Inspector's.

Termius ships an update fortnightly, Web Inspector weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
