Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Yubico Authenticator at Free against FTPro's $0.29. Yubico Authenticator also leads on ratings volume (287 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). FTPro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
