Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iTerminal at 4.3 against SSH Shortcuts's 3.2. iTerminal also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 9). SSH Shortcuts's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support 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. SSH Shortcuts asks for nothing beyond the download.
iTerminal holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTerminal has 117 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of iTerminal's written reviews are positive against 67% of SSH Shortcuts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
