For example, doors can unlock automatically during working hours, but require a biometric after hours. Similarly, users' laptops may unlock automatically while in the office, but require a PIN to be entered in the phone to unlock them when they are on travel.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BUSY holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 41 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Allthenticator's written reviews are positive against 58% of BUSY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
