Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator at 4.7 against TCS's 3.0. Authenticator also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 1) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). TCS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
