Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Authenticator App at free with in-app purchases against Authenticator App+'s subscription. Authenticator App also leads on ads (none vs shown). Authenticator App+'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Authenticator App+ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Authenticator App sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Authenticator App+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator App+ has 12K ratings behind it against 210, 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 67% of Authenticator App's.
Authenticator App+ ships an update every 2 weeks, Authenticator App every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
