# Mobile SSH Terminal vs DevMate

The clearest difference is rating: Mobile SSH Terminal at 4.3 against DevMate's 3.3. Mobile SSH Terminal also leads on chart position (#41 vs #197). DevMate's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile SSH Terminal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per month and DevMate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mobile SSH Terminal holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Mobile SSH Terminal's written reviews are positive against 33% of DevMate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
