# iGate vs Guard Gate

The clearest difference is rating: Guard Gate at 2.5 against iGate's 1.8. iGate's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (22% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Guard Gate sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per 7 days. iGate asks for nothing beyond the download.

Guard Gate holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iGate has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of iGate's written reviews are positive against 0% of Guard Gate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iGate ships an update every 3 months, Guard Gate every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
