WatchGuard AuthPoint holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 38 and 44 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of R's written reviews are positive against 53% of WatchGuard AuthPoint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
