# Termius vs WebSSH

The clearest difference is monetization model: WebSSH at free against Termius's freemium. WebSSH also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Termius's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 39) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Termius sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and WebSSH sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Termius holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Termius has 19K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 81% and 81% positive.

Termius ships an update fortnightly, WebSSH monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
