# GV vs Guard Camera

The clearest difference is rating: GV at 2.0 against Guard Camera's 1.4. GV also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Guard Camera's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

GV holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guard Camera has 35 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of GV's written reviews are positive against 5% of Guard Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
