# Guardio vs RateTracker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Guardio at 92% against RateTracker's 10%. Guardio also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Guardio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $18.99 per month and RateTracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Guardio holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guardio has 49K ratings behind it against 5.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of Guardio's written reviews are positive against 10% of RateTracker's.

Guardio ships an update weekly, RateTracker every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
