# Authenticator vs HexWrapper

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Authenticator at 15.0 against HexWrapper's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and HexWrapper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
