The clearest difference is ads: Qatom Authenticator at none against PC Express's shown. Qatom Authenticator also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). PC Express's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
