# Fixter vs iGuard

The clearest difference is rating: iGuard at 4.4 against Fixter's 3.3. iGuard also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (246 vs 43). Fixter's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fixter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and iGuard sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iGuard holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iGuard has 246 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Fixter's written reviews are positive against 20% of iGuard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fixter ships an update fortnightly, iGuard every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
