This is the practical upgrade guide. Free is enough to connect and run commands. Premium starts making sense when you want live output, files, command management, or more saved servers.
SSH chat, the default command catalog, command history, and up to three saved servers.
People trying the app, one or two personal servers, or simple checks like pwd, df -h, and short Docker snapshots.
Use Free until you feel a real workflow limit, not because a paywall exists.
Stream Mode for commands that keep producing output.
You regularly run builds, installs, pulls, or long tasks and you want to watch them live instead of waiting for one final block.
docker compose build npm install pytest
Open and upload files, edit the command catalog, create categories, and import or export catalogs.
You want the app to behave like a reusable mobile runbook, not just a one-command-at-a-time SSH client.
You need more than three saved servers because you manage multiple environments or customer boxes.
If you only connect and run short commands, stay on Free. If you want live output, files, catalog editing, or more hosts, Premium is the practical next step.
The best Premium value usually starts when sshChat becomes part of your repeat ops workflow, not just an emergency fallback.
