Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: avseye at 3.7 against Guard Viewer's 2.8. Guard Viewer's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (220 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
avseye holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guard Viewer has 220 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Guard Viewer's written reviews are positive against 14% of avseye's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Guard Viewer ships an update every 4 weeks, avseye every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
