# Authenticator vs Call Recorder

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator at 5.0 against Call Recorder's 4.2. Authenticator also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Call Recorder's advantage is ratings volume (97 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Call Recorder sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
