# ASee+ vs Guard Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: Guard Viewer at 2.8 against ASee+'s 2.0. Guard Viewer also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 10 months). ASee+'s advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 24%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Guard Viewer holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guard Viewer has 220 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of ASee+'s written reviews are positive against 24% of Guard Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ASee+ ships an update every 10 months, Guard Viewer every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
