Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BOXD at none against Idle Pact's shown. BOXD also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Idle Pact's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
