Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BiteFX at 5.0 against BoneBox™'s 4.1. BiteFX also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 months vs every 37 months). BoneBox™'s advantage is ratings volume (69 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
