Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Boxer at 100% against Dis's 3%. Boxer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Dis's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Boxer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dis has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Boxer's written reviews are positive against 3% of Dis's.
Boxer ships an update every 3 months, Dis every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
