Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ServerBox at 4.9 against AdGuard Home's 4.1. ServerBox also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 57%) and ratings volume (91 vs 9). AdGuard Home's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
