Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator App+ at 4.8 against Auth's 4.2. Authenticator App+ also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 365). Auth's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (87% vs 77%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator App+ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Auth sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Authenticator App+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator App+ has 12K ratings behind it against 365, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Authenticator App+'s written reviews are positive against 87% of Auth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
