Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: STid Settings v3 at none against GuardKit's 1. STid Settings v3 also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). GuardKit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
