Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator at 4.7 against Authenticator's 3.7. Authenticator also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 6). Authenticator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
