Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Authenticator + 2FA at freemium against The authenticator App's subscription. Authenticator + 2FA also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). The authenticator App's advantage is ratings volume (67 vs 11). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
