Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EDECOA at 5.0 against Solar Guardian's 2.3. EDECOA also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Solar Guardian's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
