# Scarlet AI vs Secure Authenticator

The clearest difference is monetization model: Secure Authenticator at freemium against Scarlet AI's subscription. Secure Authenticator also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Scarlet AI's advantage is ratings volume (257 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scarlet AI sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Secure Authenticator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Scarlet AI against 4.7 for Secure Authenticator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scarlet AI has 257 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Scarlet AI's written reviews are positive against 100% of Secure Authenticator's.
