# 2FA vs TOTP Authenticator

The clearest difference is rating: 2FA at 4.6 against TOTP Authenticator's 4.0. 2FA also leads on ratings volume (41 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 1). TOTP Authenticator's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2FA sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and TOTP Authenticator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

2FA holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2FA has 41 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
