# Scripting vs Termi

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scripting at 98% against Termi's 67%. Scripting also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (112 vs 7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scripting sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Termi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scripting holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scripting has 112 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 98% of Scripting's written reviews are positive against 67% of Termi's.

Scripting ships an update fortnightly, Termi every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
