# Thief Job vs Final Guard

The clearest difference is ads: Thief Job at none against Final Guard's shown. Thief Job also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.6). Final Guard's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thief Job sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Final Guard sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Final Guard holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Thief Job's written reviews are positive against 50% of Final Guard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Thief Job ships an update every 3 months, Final Guard every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
