# Authenticator vs Detector Device Detection

The clearest difference is rating: Detector Device Detection at 4.6 against Authenticator's 3.8. Detector Device Detection also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (113 vs 6). Authenticator's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Detector Device Detection sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
