# NFC vs Authenticator

The clearest difference is ads: Authenticator at none against NFC's shown. NFC's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFC sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Authenticator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
