Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SQL Practice at 86% against Termiux's 15%. SQL Practice also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (137 vs 2). Termiux's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SQL Practice sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Termiux sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Termiux holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQL Practice has 137 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of SQL Practice's written reviews are positive against 15% of Termiux's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SQL Practice ships an update every 6 months, Termiux every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
