By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Guardsquare = deep polymorphic obfuscation + RASP; ... IP-heavy gaming/fintech with Android prefer DexGuard for deep obfuscation.” Muse Glimmer 30B · App shielding · comparative prompt · first choice
“For most mid-market B2B companies, Guardsquare offers the best balance of protection, features, and proven reliability” GLM 4.7 FlashX · App shielding · direct prompt · first choice
“If your top priority is hard core code protection / reverse engineering resistance, start with Guardsquare.” GPT-5.4 mini · App shielding · comparative prompt · first choice
“If your engineering team wants complete, manual control over security during compilation, choose Guardsquare.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · App shielding · comparative prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“What to Avoid on a Tight Budget - Guardsquare DexGuard/iXGuard ... typically very expensive” Kimi K2 · App shielding · budget prompt · hard negative
“you do not need to purchase expensive, five-figure enterprise contracts (like those from Guardsquare/DexGuard, Promon, or Arxan)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · App shielding · budget prompt · soft negative
“Guardsquare is another established vendor in mobile app security, though pricing details typically need a sales quote.” GPT-5.4 mini · App shielding · budget prompt · soft negative
“remains the code-level benchmark, albeit typically enterprise-priced with contact-for-quote sales” Muse Glimmer 30B · App shielding · direct prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page guardsquare.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.
