Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iTerminal at 4.3 against N's 3.0. iTerminal also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 1). N's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. iTerminal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. N asks for nothing beyond the download.
iTerminal holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTerminal has 117 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of N's written reviews are positive against 59% of iTerminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
N ships an update every 3 months, iTerminal every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
