Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: HTTPS4All at none against HTTPS Guard's shown. HTTPS4All also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 63%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). HTTPS Guard's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (211 vs 26). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HTTPS Guard holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTTPS Guard has 211 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of HTTPS4All's written reviews are positive against 63% of HTTPS Guard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
