# StopAds vs Authenticator+ App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Authenticator+ App at 69% against StopAds's 21%. Authenticator+ App also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.3) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). StopAds's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StopAds sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year 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.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator+ App has 3K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two.
