Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: WeBox at Free against WatchVideo Player's $1.99. WeBox also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). WatchVideo Player's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
