# Hidden Camera vs Authenticator App

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator App at 5.0 against Hidden Camera's 4.3. Hidden Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (44 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Authenticator App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Authenticator App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Camera has 44 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
