Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alpha Speed at 100% against Sandbox's 47%. Alpha Speed also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Sandbox's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sandbox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Alpha Speed asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sandbox holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sandbox has 9.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Alpha Speed's written reviews are positive against 47% of Sandbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Alpha Speed ships an update every 10 months, Sandbox monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
