Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VideoBox at 4.5 against Player Master's 4.1. VideoBox also leads on ratings volume (142 vs 18). Player Master's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.3 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. VideoBox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Player Master sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
VideoBox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VideoBox has 142 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of VideoBox's written reviews are positive against 40% of Player Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VideoBox ships an update every 3 months, Player Master every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
