Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VBOX at 100% against Shortcut Archive's 36%. VBOX also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). Shortcut Archive's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (23 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
