Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Guarding Vision at 4.7 against Cloudvue's 3.3. Guarding Vision also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 7). Cloudvue's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 31%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Guarding Vision holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guarding Vision has 22K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Cloudvue's written reviews are positive against 31% of Guarding Vision's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cloudvue ships an update every 2 months, Guarding Vision monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
