# Git client vs SSHHIP

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Git client at 3.8K against SSHHIP's 12. Git client also leads on chart position (#14 vs #43). SSHHIP's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Git client sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and SSHHIP sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Git client against 4.9 for SSHHIP. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Git client has 3.8K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Git client's written reviews are positive against 100% of SSHHIP's.

Git client ships an update every 9 days, SSHHIP every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
