Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Robert Andrew at free against Guardian Protection's subscription. Robert Andrew also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Guardian Protection's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
