Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: byjoywe at free with in-app purchases against Authenticator Duo's subscription. byjoywe also leads on ratings volume (87 vs 14) and iOS requirement (12.3 vs 15.0). Authenticator Duo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
