Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Final Guard at 4.5 against Trio's 3.9. Trio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Final Guard sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Trio sells 2 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 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trio has 184 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Final Guard's written reviews are positive against 56% of Trio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Final Guard ships an update every 4 months, Trio fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
