Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ARABSAT at 100% against My RedBox's 36%. ARABSAT also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). My RedBox's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
