Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Termius at none against Walnut's shown. Termius also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 2) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). Walnut's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Walnut holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Termius has 20K ratings behind it against 2, 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 100% of Walnut's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Termius ships an update fortnightly, Walnut every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
