Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
