# iTerminal vs MySQL Client

The clearest difference is rating: MySQL Client at 5.0 against iTerminal's 4.3. MySQL Client also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and ads (none vs shown). iTerminal's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
