Verdict
The clearest difference is price: V2Box at Free against Quantumult X's $9.99. V2Box also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Quantumult X's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#22 vs #102). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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
V2Box is free to download; Quantumult X costs $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
V2Box holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V2Box has 98K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Quantumult X's written reviews are positive against 46% of V2Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Quantumult X ships an update every 2 months, V2Box every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
