# Authenticator App+ vs My Authenticator app

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Authenticator App+ at 77% against My Authenticator app's 25%. Authenticator App+ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). My Authenticator app's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.3 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator App+ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and My Authenticator app sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Authenticator App+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator App+ has 12K ratings behind it against 613, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Authenticator App+'s written reviews are positive against 25% of My Authenticator app's.
