Comparison
Appsolid vs Guardsquare DexGuard
Guardsquare's Android protection product (DexGuard) — obfuscation, RASP and ThreatCast monitoring. A widely used, well-regarded commercial option.
Built for Android: Purpose-built for Android — focused on DEX packing and native protection.
Head to head
Integration
Post-build — upload a finished APK/AAB; no SDK, no source changes.
Typically a build-time integration (Gradle plugin / configuration).
Hooking countermeasure
Key entanglement — detection is bound into the decryption key, so under hooking the original code never decrypts (no branch to patch).
Detect-then-block is the common model (per public material). Confirm exact behavior with the vendor.
Pricing
Flat per-app pricing — does not scale with users/devices/MAU; publicly listed.
No public list price — quote-based is typical.
Published validation
Published validation: 102 devices, 1,800+ runs, 7-threat e2e, red-team ceiling.
Check with the vendor.
