# CMD vs ServerPanel

The clearest difference is ads: ServerPanel at none against CMD's shown. CMD's advantage is ratings volume (76 vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for CMD against 5.0 for ServerPanel. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CMD has 76 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CMD ships an update every 10 days, ServerPanel every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
