# Termius vs Walnut

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.

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

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.

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