Compare: Termius charges $10/month ($120/year) for similar features. ZestSSH Bundle is $29.99 total for everything. You save over $90 in year one alone.
The SSH client landscape needed a fresh start.
Removed from the Play Store in December 2025, leaving 3.9 million users stranded. ZestSSH is the modern replacement Android users have been waiting for.
For features that should be a one-time purchase. ZestSSH Pro costs $9.99 total. That's one month of Termius for a lifetime of ZestSSH.
Sparse updates, outdated UI, missing features. ConnectBot served us well, but it's time for something modern.
No sync, separate tools for SFTP (WinSCP) and key management (Pageant), no mobile. ZestSSH replaces all three in one app across every platform.
