Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Big Button Box Lite at none against StarStream's 3. Big Button Box Lite also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). StarStream's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
