# iTerminal vs Wavelink TE

The clearest difference is rating: Wavelink TE at 5.0 against iTerminal's 4.4. Wavelink TE also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). iTerminal's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 38%) and ratings volume (123 vs 3). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTerminal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Wavelink TE asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wavelink TE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTerminal has 123 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of iTerminal's written reviews are positive against 38% of Wavelink TE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
