Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PPsmart at none against Ubox's 17. PPsmart also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Ubox's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 1) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PPsmart holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ubox has 28K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Ubox's written reviews are positive against 100% of PPsmart's.
