Google Authenticator: Android, iOS
Duo Mobile: Android, iOS
Microsoft Authenticator: Android, iOS
Free OTP: Android, iOS
Authy: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Chrome
Yandex.key: Android, iOS
Aegis: Android
Most of these are not open source and do not allow proper encrypted back ups. Google Authenticator in particular is awful from the regard. FreeOTP is no longer in development. Here are the apps you should be using:
Android - Aegis or AndOTP
iOS - Tofu or Authenticator

authy makes backup easier, it has a secure cloud for the backup
Cloud storage is frequently hacked, and should not be used for sensitive data or back ups. A better option is to use one of the apps I listed to make an encrypted back up locally.
