# ServerBox vs Aprox

ServerBox and Aprox both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of ServerBox's written reviews are positive against 43% of Aprox's. ServerBox also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (93 vs 2). Aprox's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aprox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. ServerBox asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for ServerBox against 5.0 for Aprox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerBox has 93 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of ServerBox's written reviews are positive against 43% of Aprox's.

ServerBox ships an update fortnightly, Aprox every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
