# UnTrap for YouTube vs Authenticator App

The clearest difference is price: Authenticator App at Free against UnTrap for YouTube's $4.99. Authenticator App also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1). UnTrap for YouTube's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 50%) and chart position (#32 vs unranked). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Authenticator App is free to download; UnTrap for YouTube costs $4.99 up front. UnTrap for YouTube sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Authenticator App sells 10 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, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 496 and 658 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of UnTrap for YouTube's written reviews are positive against 50% of Authenticator App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
