# PowerUp Mobile vs Authenticator App ©

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator App © at 3.9 against PowerUp Mobile's 1.0. Authenticator App © also leads on ratings volume (631 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 2). PowerUp Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator App © sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. PowerUp Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Authenticator App © holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator App © has 631 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of PowerUp Mobile's written reviews are positive against 33% of Authenticator App ©'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
