Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GizmoPack at none against VBOX's shown. GizmoPack also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 3). VBOX's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GizmoPack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and VBOX sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
VBOX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GizmoPack has 32 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of GizmoPack's written reviews are positive against 100% of VBOX's.
GizmoPack ships an update every 4 days, VBOX every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
