# AirPlay Screen Mirroring vs Authenticator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Authenticator at 100% against AirPlay Screen Mirroring's 22%. Authenticator also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1). AirPlay Screen Mirroring's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (775 vs 135). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirPlay Screen Mirroring sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Authenticator sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Authenticator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1.
