Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: auth. at 4.7 against UDevice's 4.4. auth. also leads on device support (5 vs 3) and price ($3.99 vs $4.99). UDevice's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 58%) and ratings volume (36 vs 6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

auth. costs $3.99 and UDevice $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

auth. holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UDevice has 36 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of auth.'s written reviews are positive against 78% of UDevice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

auth. ships an update monthly, UDevice every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
