Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My HVLCSD at none against System Guard's 1. My HVLCSD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). System Guard's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
