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.
Entrata Facilities holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Entrata Facilities has 2.8K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Entrata Facilities's written reviews are positive against 83% of Gard Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Entrata Facilities ships an update monthly, Gard Security every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
