Tips Mobile holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Octopus Authenticator has 159 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Tips Mobile's written reviews are positive against 22% of Octopus Authenticator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tips Mobile ships an update every 3 months, Octopus Authenticator every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
