# Termius vs Git client

The clearest difference is chart position: Termius at #3 against Git client's #37. Termius also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 3.8K). Git client's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 81%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Termius sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month and Git client sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Termius against 4.8 for Git client. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Termius has 19K ratings behind it against 3.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Termius's written reviews are positive against 91% of Git client's.

Termius ships an update fortnightly, Git client every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
