# Termiux vs LocationLab

The clearest difference is rating: LocationLab at 5.0 against Termiux's 4.3. LocationLab also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly). Termiux's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Termiux sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and LocationLab sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LocationLab holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Termiux has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Termiux ships an update weekly, LocationLab daily. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
