# Authy Authenticator vs Secure App

The clearest difference is rating: Authy Authenticator at 5.0 against Secure App's 3.8. Authy Authenticator also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). Secure App's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Authy Authenticator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Authy Authenticator has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
