ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VideoBox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 215 and 142 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of iTransfer's written reviews are positive against 36% of VideoBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iTransfer ships an update every 4 months, VideoBox every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
