Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: V2Box at none against iTerminal's 1. V2Box also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). iTerminal's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 46%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, monetization model 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. V2Box asks for nothing beyond the download.
V2Box holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V2Box has 98K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of iTerminal's written reviews are positive against 46% of V2Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iTerminal ships an update every 4 months, V2Box every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
