# PLIST Editor Mobile vs Termiux

The clearest difference is rating: PLIST Editor Mobile at 5.0 against Termiux's 4.4. Termiux's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (20% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PLIST Editor Mobile sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Termiux sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PLIST Editor Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PLIST Editor Mobile's written reviews are positive against 20% of Termiux's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PLIST Editor Mobile ships an update every 2 months, Termiux weekly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
