Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iTerminal at 4.3 against Http Ninja's 2.8. iTerminal also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 25%) and ratings volume (117 vs 5). Http Ninja's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
