Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digext at 100% against Anybox's 65%. Digext also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Anybox's advantage is ratings volume (525 vs 11) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
