Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator at 4.5 against AdBlock's 3.8. Authenticator also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 9) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). AdBlock's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authenticator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and AdBlock sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
