Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: HX at none against V2Box's shown. HX also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). V2Box's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
