Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ServerBox at 4.9 against Air's 4.5. ServerBox also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 67%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Air's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
