Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SimDeck Studio at none against Termius's 4. SimDeck Studio also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Termius's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 2) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
