Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator at 5.0 against LanStudio VPN's 4.4. LanStudio VPN's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Authenticator sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and LanStudio VPN sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Authenticator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LanStudio VPN has 127 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Authenticator's written reviews are positive against 27% of LanStudio VPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
