Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Handshake at 4.5 against Activity Box's 3.2. Handshake also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (191 vs 11). Activity Box's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
