Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DevBox at Free against Technicode's $0.99. DevBox also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.2). Technicode's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
