# Guardian® vs GoLexi

The clearest difference is rating: GoLexi at 5.0 against Guardian®'s 4.6. GoLexi also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Guardian®'s advantage is ratings volume (45K vs 1) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). 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.

GoLexi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guardian® has 45K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
