# VPN vs Authenticator TOTP

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator TOTP at 5.0 against VPN's 4.3. Authenticator TOTP also leads on device support (3 vs 1). VPN's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VPN sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Authenticator TOTP sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Authenticator TOTP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 4.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

VPN ships an update fortnightly, Authenticator TOTP every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
