Termius Alternatives: SSH Clients for iPhone and Android
Short answer: good SSH clients for phones include Termius (iOS, Android, desktop), Blink Shell (iOS, with Mosh), Prompt (iOS), JuiceSSH and Termux (Android), and ShellPilot: SSH & Snippets which adds saved command snippets, SSH keys and an SFTP browser on iPhone and Android.
We make ShellPilot: SSH & Snippets, so weigh our pick accordingly. The other options here are good at what they do, and we say where they fit better.
What to compare
Key support (Ed25519, RSA) and where keys are stored.
A terminal that works with tmux and vim.
File transfer through SFTP.
Saved commands for things you repeat.
Price and whether an account is required.
Options
Termius: cross-platform SSH client on phone and desktop, with a free tier and paid sync features.
Blink Shell: an iOS terminal known for Mosh support, aimed at heavy terminal users.
Prompt: an SSH client for Apple devices by Panic.
JuiceSSH: an Android SSH client.
Termux: a full terminal environment for Android, more than an SSH client.
ShellPilot: SSH & Snippets: a terminal with Ed25519 and RSA keys that stay on your device, an SFTP file browser, multiple saved servers, and snippets you run in one tap, such as restarts and log checks.
