Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator at 4.7 against QuickQR's 4.0. Authenticator also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 1) and chart position (#188 vs unranked). QuickQR's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and QuickQR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Authenticator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authenticator has 2.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Authenticator's written reviews are positive against 100% of QuickQR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Authenticator ships an update every 3 weeks, QuickQR weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
