Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ringplan Connect at 100% against Authenticator App's 45%. Authenticator App's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Authenticator App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator App has 34K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Authenticator App's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ringplan Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Authenticator App ships an update every 2 weeks, Ringplan Connect every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
