† Termius Pro is billed annually; no month-to-month rate is published. * Panic no longer publishes Prompt's price on its site or App Store listing (free download with in-app purchase); $9.99/year is the most recent figure we could source and may be out of date — check theirs. ‡ GateShell runs no backend for SSH, SFTP, Mosh or port forwarding. The one exception is opt-in server alerts, which are relayed to Apple's push service and stored nowhere — see our privacy policy. Competitor details verified against vendor pricing and documentation on 12 September 2026; dashes mark figures the vendor does not publish. Prices change — check theirs before deciding.
Pricing FAQ
How does billing work?

Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel through your Apple ID settings at any time. Your Pro access continues until the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued.
Is there a free trial?
Not currently. The free tier gives you full SSH terminal access with 1 saved server so you can evaluate GateShell before subscribing.
What happens if I downgrade from Pro to Free?
Your existing server configs remain saved, but you'll only be able to connect to your most recently used server. Pro-only features like SFTP and port forwarding will be locked.
