Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HDMessage at every 5 days against Guardian®'s every 2 weeks. HDMessage also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Guardian®'s advantage is chart position (#42 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
