Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Remote for LG at every 6 days against Authenticator's every 5 months. Remote for LG also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 61) and review sentiment (23% vs 0%). Authenticator's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote for LG sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Authenticator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Authenticator holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote for LG has 17K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Remote for LG's written reviews are positive against 0% of Authenticator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remote for LG ships an update every 6 days, Authenticator every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
