# TimeTill vs Authenticator

The clearest difference is rating: TimeTill at 5.0 against Authenticator's 4.5. TimeTill also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 2). Authenticator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeTill sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Authenticator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeTill holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeTill has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TimeTill ships an update every 3 weeks, Authenticator weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
