Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iTerminal at 4.3 against QuickSource's 3.3. iTerminal also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 3). QuickSource's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
