Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Event Flow Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Octopus Authenticator has 159 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Octopus Authenticator's written reviews are positive against 0% of Event Flow Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Octopus Authenticator ships an update every 2 months, Event Flow Manager fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
