Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Opsivo at 5.0 against Mobile SSH Terminal's 4.3. Mobile SSH Terminal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mobile SSH Terminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per month and Opsivo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Opsivo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile SSH Terminal has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Mobile SSH Terminal ships an update weekly, Opsivo every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
