# Subscriptions vs OnGuardAI

The clearest difference is rating: OnGuardAI at 5.0 against Subscriptions's 4.7. OnGuardAI also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Subscriptions's advantage is ratings volume (173 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscriptions sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and OnGuardAI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
