Verdict

The call

Authenticator · and Authenticator both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Authenticator's written reviews are positive against 24% of Authenticator ·'s. Authenticator ·'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
