Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Authenticator App at 5.0 against Mic's 4.1. Authenticator App also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and device support (4 vs 1). Mic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
