FactorCat is a modern authenticator that replaces the code-copying ritual with a single tap. How it works: Install the browser extension on your computer. When you hit a login page that needs a code, FactorCat sends a push notification to your phone. Tap approve, confirm with Face ID or fingerprint, and the code fills in automatically. No switching apps. No squinting at timers. No mistyped digits. Security you can trust: Your TOTP secrets are stored on your device, encrypted and protected by biometrics. FactorCat never holds your passwords — MFA and passwords stay separate by design, so there's no single point of failure for your online identity. Two vault types: • Cloud Vault — cloud-managed keys for easy recovery. Great for getting started with MFA or for low-risk accounts. FactorCat can generate codes on your behalf when your phone is offline. • Locked Vault — zero-trust encryption using a model trusted by leading security products. You hold the keys. FactorCat cannot read your secrets. Backup via encrypted cloud blobs recoverable only with your emergency kit. Getting started takes 2 minutes: 1. Download FactorCat 2. Add your first token (scan a QR or let the browser extension capture it) 3. Pair with the extension via one QR scan 4. Done — your next login fills itself in Also works standalone. Use FactorCat as a regular authenticator with no account or extension required. When you're ready for auto-fill, pair up anytime. Free to use. No ads. No tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FactorCat at none against Calculator⁼'s shown. FactorCat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Calculator⁼'s advantage is ratings volume (358K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Calculator⁼ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and FactorCat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FactorCat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator⁼ has 358K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Calculator⁼ ships an update monthly, FactorCat every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
