Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iNet at 4.5 against Guardian Vision's 2.3. iNet also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 50%) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 3). Guardian Vision's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
