# Authenticator+ App vs VPN

The clearest difference is ads: Authenticator+ App at none against VPN's shown. VPN's advantage is ratings volume (437K vs 3K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator+ App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and VPN sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 437K ratings behind it against 3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Authenticator+ App's written reviews are positive against 84% of VPN's.

Authenticator+ App ships an update every 6 weeks, VPN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
