Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Yubico Authenticator at 3.7 against CKPool Stats's 3.1. Yubico Authenticator also leads on ratings volume (268 vs 7). CKPool Stats's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 44%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Yubico Authenticator holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yubico Authenticator has 268 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of CKPool Stats's written reviews are positive against 44% of Yubico Authenticator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CKPool Stats ships an update every 9 days, Yubico Authenticator monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
