Both are free to download. Codes Authenticator sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and 2FA App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.59 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
2FA App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2FA App has 190 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Codes Authenticator's written reviews are positive against 80% of 2FA App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Codes Authenticator ships an update every 2 weeks, 2FA App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
