Sign into your work resources simply and securely with the JumpCloud Protect® mobile application, proud winner of the Globee Cybersecurity Award. JumpCloud Protect enables multi-factor authentication (MFA) which ensures user verification. MFA provides an extra layer of security beyond traditional username and password authentication through either a push notification or a verification code through TOTP (time-based one-time password). Both methods are easier to use and provide more security than user-created passcodes or authentication codes sent via SMS. In addition, TOTP does not require your mobile device to be connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bob HR at 4.7 against JumpCloud Protect's 4.3. Bob HR also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 32) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). JumpCloud Protect's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 30%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bob HR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bob HR has 1.4K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Bob HR's written reviews are positive against 47% of JumpCloud Protect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bob HR ships an update every 4 days, JumpCloud Protect fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
