Do you want to quit being distracted by your phone? Liberate will help you unshackle and start producing more than you consume. Pick the apps and websites that steal your time, then choose how strict to be: • Block: everything stays blocked until the end time you set • Schedule: blocks start and stop by themselves on the days and hours you choose • Limit: give apps a set amount of time, or a number of opens, each day or week. Use it up and they're blocked until it resets Blocked means blocked. You can't open those apps or visit those sites in Safari until the block ends or the limit resets. For real emergencies there's one Emergency Unblock every 7 days; otherwise, no take-backs ~(‾▿‾)~ No subscription, no ads, no account and no data collected.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Liberate at 4.7 against Ashvins Authenticator's 2.0. Liberate also leads on ratings volume (867 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Ashvins Authenticator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
