The call

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.
