# VPN vs Authenticator+ App

The clearest difference is ads: Authenticator+ App at none against VPN's shown. VPN's advantage is ratings volume (176K vs 3K) and review sentiment (84% vs 71%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Authenticator+ App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for VPN against 4.5 for Authenticator+ App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 176K ratings behind it against 3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of VPN's written reviews are positive against 71% of Authenticator+ App's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
