Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Partybox at none against Host Royale's 1. Partybox also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Host Royale's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
