Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gemera at none against Evo Defense's shown. Gemera also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Evo Defense's advantage is chart position (#54 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
