Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iTerminal at 4.3 against My Hetzner's 2.0. iTerminal also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 2). My Hetzner's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iTerminal holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTerminal has 117 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of iTerminal's written reviews are positive against 100% of My Hetzner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iTerminal ships an update every 4 months, My Hetzner every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
