Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gun Gear at 4.3 against Shoot Defender's 3.7. Gun Gear also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 206) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shoot Defender sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Gun Gear sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gun Gear holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gun Gear has 1.4K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Shoot Defender's written reviews are positive against 5% of Gun Gear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shoot Defender ships an update fortnightly, Gun Gear every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
