Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Metro Bank Authenticator at none against Community Bank's shown. Metro Bank Authenticator also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Community Bank's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
