# Final Guard vs Helicopter Dispatch

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Helicopter Dispatch at 100% against Final Guard's 50%. Helicopter Dispatch also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). Final Guard's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 48 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Final Guard sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Helicopter Dispatch asks for nothing beyond the download.

Final Guard holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Final Guard has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Final Guard's written reviews are positive against 100% of Helicopter Dispatch'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, Helicopter Dispatch every 48 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
