Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NumberBox at 4.5 against VB MATE's 2.0. NumberBox also leads on ratings volume (563 vs 2) and review sentiment (61% vs 50%). VB MATE's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
