Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PBADD at 5.0 against Guardinator's 1.8. PBADD also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Guardinator's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
