ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Authenticator app holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator app has 5.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Authenticator app's written reviews are positive against 100% of QodeFlow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Authenticator app ships an update monthly, QodeFlow every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
