# Termius vs Waycar

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Termius at 20K against Waycar's 5. Termius also leads on chart position (#4 vs unranked). Waycar's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Termius sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and Waycar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Waycar 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 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
