Termius stands out with cloud sync of SSH hosts across devices – but that means your credentials live in their cloud, and the full feature set sits behind a subscription. NeoSSHWinManager runs entirely locally on Windows: connection profiles stay AES-encrypted on your machine, plus a real SSHFS drive mount that Termius doesn't offer.
| Criterion | Termius | NeoSSHWinManager |
|---|---|---|
| Core principle | Cross-platform SSH terminal with cloud sync | Windows SSH manager with drive mounting |
| Credential storage | Cloud vault (account required for sync) | Local, AES-encrypted per user |
| Drive mount (SSHFS) | No | Yes, one-click mount as a Windows drive |
| Device sync (mobile/web) | Yes, a core feature | No, a pure Windows desktop app |
| Full feature set | Partly behind a Pro subscription | Completely free |
| Open source | No | Yes (MIT license) |
When you need the same SSH connections in sync across Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, and you're fine with your credentials syncing through their cloud.
When you work on Windows, prefer keeping credentials local instead of in someone else's cloud, and also need remote servers as a drive in Explorer – with no subscription.
Yes. NeoSSHWinManager is completely free and open source (MIT license) – no Pro subscription and no feature limits.
No. Connection profiles are stored locally and AES-encrypted on your Windows machine, not in an external cloud vault.
Termius doesn't offer that. NeoSSHWinManager mounts SSH/SFTP servers via SSHFS directly as a Windows drive letter – in addition to the terminal and the FTP/FTPS/SFTP browser.
