Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AGD Stream at 5.0 against Box Control's 2.2. AGD Stream also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Box Control's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
