What are your preferred SSH apps for different platforms and why?

Was just wondering what's your preferred SSH app on different platforms - I'm currently using:
OS X: Terminal
Have no problems with it, it works great.
Android: JuiceSSH
Works great, ~S$8 for Pro is a bit too expensive, though. Would be willing to pay S$5 for that.
...and I'm looking for better (and cheaper?) alternatives (esp for Android) cause I can't be bothered to pay for the pro version of JuiceSSH, though it's featured filled and has what I need to get things done even more quickly.
Personally, I will need to be working on the go from next week onwards (on my Z3 or Mi Pad), after my camp since I can only make time to manage servers while commuting, gotta spend some time on school anyway.
Thanks!

Putty on Windows tablet and desktop, Server Auditor on iOS... Don't have an android so can't say much there. My OS X box I just use the terminal like yourself.
iTerm2 on OS X is the only way to go, IMO. v3 beta is nice: https://www.iterm2.com/version3.html
MobaXterm for windows. Nice tabbed sessions like so -
Does it support taking tabs out into their own windows? Like taking a chrome tab out and putting its own window on another monitor.
Yeah, just right click the tab and "Detach tab".
juice ssh pro is worth the money, although I get it for free a while ago
iterm2 on mac or royal tsx if you want a more multi session interface that is very pretty, with some other protocols in it too.
https://www.iterm2.com/
https://www.royalapplications.com/ts/osx/features
and prompt2 (by panic) on iOS. https://panic.com/prompt/ . By far the nicest one for iOS
+1 for Royal TS (TSX is OSX version I assume?)
I use it for windows RDP sessions at work.
Terminal, Terminator and PAC for Linux.
Try SSH Secure Shell Client for Windows , I hope you will enjoy it
terminator on linux.
On android juicessh nothing else.
Mac OS X - iTerm is the best choice for Mac OS X
Windows - Putty/MobaXterm (second one is better for GUI fags since it has sftp , tabs, etc). Royal TS is very very bad for windows (not sure about Mac version)
Android - JuiceSSH
Maybe a good idea for me to wait for a discount before buying JuiceSSH heh
I know there WAS a discount so yeah.
Thanks for the your responses, gonna try Royal TSX when I get home. Tried iTerm 2, never tried the beta, but will get to that too
Serverauditor on iOS. iTerm is amazing on OS X
Windows: XShell
RoyalTS/Royal TSX on windows osx (I prefer RoyalTS to TSX), Sometimes just the SSH command from terminal if I want to connect to something I've not bothered to add to Royal (It's usually quicker)
Likewise sometimes use Putty on windows if I can't be bothered to start Royal.
I did have something on android but I don't think I ever re-installed it when I changed device, I'd only use SSH from a tablet/phone in an emergency as I don’t seem to get on well with onscreen keyboards
PuTTY.
First SSH program I ever used, small, lightweight, standalone and does everything I need.
Linux: Guake
Android: JuiceSSH
iOS: Serverauditor
konsole.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I change it to a white background with dark grey font, instead of black background with white font.
Putty and JuiceSSH got it for free during a limit promotion.
Since I sadly must use Windows as my desktop OS for software I need, I use the cygwin so I can use tmux and other commands I'm used to on linux. It is basically almost a native linux terminal experience on Windows.
Cygwin+OpenSSH under Windows
OpenSSH under GNU/Linux
Android? nothing. Unfortunately, the excellent JuiceSSH can't work with modern servers using decent security ('coz the app relies on a poorly maintained 3rdparty library). Worth knowing before buying.
I type commands directly into the Terminal on Mac and Linux.
I normally recommend PuTTY to Windows customers. PuTTY has been a standard for so long. After reading a similar thread on LowEndTalk, maybe there is something better. I wonder if there are Windows applications that might be better than PuTTY ... :
See this thread:
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/76115/ssh-clients-recommendation-for-windows
KITTY for windows, Juicessh for Android (also got the full version for free). SSH for linux (haha).
I also use Mosh through MobaXterm sometime when I'm on shitty connections (JUICESSH supports Mosh natively, but not sure if it works in free version) .
Windows > SmarTTY, PuTTY
Android > Serverauditor
windows : xshell n mobaxterm
XShell & Xftp by NetSarang
SecureCRT - Windows
Terminal.app - OS X
whatever terminal - Linux
JuiceSSH - Android
