Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OBguard at 100% against MyRegistry.com's 61%. OBguard also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). MyRegistry.com's advantage is ratings volume (7.3K vs 10) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyRegistry.com holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyRegistry.com has 7.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of MyRegistry.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of OBguard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
