Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
vEye holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guard Viewer has 220 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of vEye's written reviews are positive against 24% of Guard Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
vEye ships an update every 2 months, Guard Viewer every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
