Potrai autorizzare i tuoi accessi da PC semplicemente: - inquadrando dalla App il QR code che trovi nella pagina di richiesta accesso e inserendo il codice app CieID che avrai creato in fase di certificazione del dispositivo; se hai attiva la biometria, l’accesso è ancora più semplice perché puoi sostituirla al codice app CieID oppure - inserendo le tue credenziali CieID (username e password) nella pagina di richiesta accesso, riceverai una notifica push in App che dovrai accettare tramite l’utilizzo del codice app CieID o della biometria. Se accedi al servizio online da smartphone, autenticati con le credenziali CieID oppure apri la App e inserisci il codice app CieID, usa il riconoscimento biometrico se attivo.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CieID at 4.2 against ISEO Argo's 2.0. CieID also leads on ratings volume (253 vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). ISEO Argo's advantage is review sentiment (37% vs 9%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CieID holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CieID has 253 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of ISEO Argo's written reviews are positive against 9% of CieID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ISEO Argo ships an update every 2 months, CieID monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
