DockerHub manages the Docker containers on servers you already own. It speaks the real Docker Engine API over an ordinary SSH connection — the same mechanism the official docker CLI uses for `docker -H ssh://`. That means there is nothing to install on your servers, no port to open, and no daemon listening on TCP. WHAT YOU GET • Live instruments — radial gauges, segmented meters and sparklines driven by real readings from the daemon. Where a value cannot be measured it is shown as unknown, never as a zero that looks like a reading. • A health scorecard — eleven checks across availability, observability, security and hygiene: containers with no restart policy, ports published to the whole network, the Docker socket mounted into a container, running as root, floating image tags. The grade is explainable line by line. • Activity with the pattern visible — a density chart across 24 hours, repeated events collapsed into one row with their rhythm, and burst detection when several containers fail on one host inside the same minute. • Your whole fleet at once — every server connects on launch. A matrix compares servers against metrics and services against servers, so a database missing from one host is obvious. • Real terminal access — follow logs as they stream, open an interactive shell inside a container, browse its filesystem, read a full inspect. • Themes that are actually yours — every colour, radius, font scale and density is a token you can change. PRIVACY No account, no sign-in, no server of ours in the middle. Credentials are held in your device keychain and sent only to the server you are connecting to. Analytics is off unless you turn it on, and never records hostnames, credentials, container names or log contents.

It is the standard way to make referential use explicit, and it costs nothing.

SSH Studio brings server files, code editing, terminals, and supported Open VSX extensions into one native workspace on iPhone and iPad. Connect over SSH, edit your code, and run it in the terminal without switching apps. A WORKSPACE FOR YOUR SCREEN On iPad, arrange the explorer, editor, and bottom terminal together, with extension views in an auxiliary pane. On iPhone, switch between files, code, terminals, and extension views in a portrait-friendly layout. OPEN VSX EXTENSIONS Find and install extensions, then open them after reviewing the trust prompt. SSH workspaces combine the server's execution environment with extension views on your device. Local workspaces can run supported commands and read-only viewers. Compatibility depends on each extension's APIs and execution requirements. SSH AND SFTP Organize server profiles and favorites. Use multiple terminals, browse folders, create and rename files, and transfer files without leaving the workspace. Verify host key fingerprints and keep login credentials in the device Keychain. KEYS AND REPEATED TASKS Use Ctrl, Alt, arrow keys, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and F1–F12 through the special keypad. Reuse snippets, opt into command history, and search or copy terminal output. INLINE FILE PREVIEWS View supported images, videos, audio, and PDFs in the editor tab area. Previews use a cache without modifying the original and include transfer progress, cancellation, and refresh. Available formats and codecs depend on the device. LOCAL PROJECTS Edit and save files in multiple code tabs without connecting to a server. Open a folder selected through Files in place, find files quickly, and use the command palette to reach common actions. Server features require a reachable SSH server. Corporate VPN access depends on your VPN app and organization policies. Remote extensions require a suitable server environment. Extensions using AI services may require an account and are subject to that service's terms. FREE TRIAL AND LIFETIME UNLOCK Download the app for free. Explicitly start a 14-day free trial, or buy Lifetime Unlock once (US $5.00 base price; local price is shown before purchase). The trial never auto-renews or charges you. After it expires, opening new SSH or local workspaces requires Lifetime Unlock; your files and settings are retained. No subscription. External server and AI service fees are separate.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: DockerHub at free against SSH Studio's free with in-app purchases. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. DockerHub sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SSH Studio sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
