# Gbox vs PanoCut

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PanoCut at 82% against Gbox's 38%. PanoCut also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (644 vs 31). Gbox's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gbox sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PanoCut sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PanoCut holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PanoCut has 644 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Gbox's written reviews are positive against 82% of PanoCut's.

Gbox ships an update every 2 months, PanoCut every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
