Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Giveffect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator App has 34K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Authenticator App's written reviews are positive against 0% of Giveffect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Authenticator App ships an update every 9 days, Giveffect fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
