Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Nex Terminal at 4.9 against SSHUI's 4.0. SSHUI's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nex Terminal sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and SSHUI sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Nex Terminal holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Nex Terminal's written reviews are positive against 100% of SSHUI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nex Terminal ships an update every 3 weeks, SSHUI every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
