Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 2FA at 4.6 against Argus's 3.3. 2FA also leads on ratings volume (41 vs 3). Argus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
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. 2FA sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Argus asks for nothing beyond the download.
2FA holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2FA has 41 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of 2FA's written reviews are positive against 100% of Argus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
2FA ships an update every 3 months, Argus every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
