Twin Draft Guard (brand)
A twin-sided foam guard slides under the door and stays in place as the door opens and closes, sealing both sides of the gap without adhesive.
Not for: Doors with less than about a quarter-inch of gap at the bottom, or exterior doors that need a permanent weatherstrip sweep.

Frost King Double Draft Stop (line)
Its twin-sided design blocks drafts without adhesive and moves with the door, making it convenient for everyday use.
Not for: Doors with high thresholds or uneven floors.
Claude also picks Frost King for “permanent sweep on an exterior door”.
Which one fits you

Aluminium-and-vinyl or brush door sweeps hold up better than foam on high-traffic doors.

Questions
Will a draft stopper fix a drafty exterior door?
Only the bottom gap. Drafts at the sides and top need weatherstripping around the frame, and a sweep or threshold seals the bottom more reliably than a slip-on guard.
