Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mighty Guards at Free against Rats!'s $1.99. Mighty Guards also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.9) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 48 months). Rats!'s advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 20%) and ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
