Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CMD at 4.9 against SSH App's 4.3. CMD also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 75%) and ratings volume (125 vs 4). SSH App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
