Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 2FA Verify at none against Authenticator ©'s 3. 2FA Verify also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 25%). Authenticator ©'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 26). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator © sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. 2FA Verify asks for nothing beyond the download.
Authenticator © holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator © has 2.4K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Authenticator ©'s written reviews are positive against 50% of 2FA Verify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Authenticator © ships an update every 3 weeks, 2FA Verify monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
