Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: PlanBooster at free with in-app purchases against Authenticator's subscription. PlanBooster also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 136) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Authenticator's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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. PlanBooster sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Authenticator sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for PlanBooster against 4.7 for Authenticator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlanBooster has 1.8K ratings behind it against 136, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of PlanBooster's written reviews are positive against 88% of Authenticator's.
PlanBooster ships an update every 2 months, Authenticator monthly. Both last shipped on November 14, 2026.
