# Authenticator vs Ad Blocker

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator at 4.5 against Ad Blocker's 4.2. Authenticator also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Ad Blocker's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 11). 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 $4.99 per 7 days and Ad Blocker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Authenticator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 46 respectively.
