RF 4DAT does not collect, sell, or share your data, and there is no analytics or tracking. Location, when you allow it, is used on-device only to label a scan with a place name; coordinates are never stored. Please use RF 4DAT only where you have permission and legal authority. It is not for stalking, covert surveillance, or identifying people. Device counts are estimates of nearby signals, not identifications of individuals.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PicShield at none against RF 4DAT's 1. PicShield also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). RF 4DAT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
