Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Streisand at none against V2Box's shown. Streisand also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (55% vs 46%). V2Box's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (98K vs 2.1K). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
V2Box holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V2Box has 98K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of V2Box's written reviews are positive against 55% of Streisand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
V2Box ships an update every 4 days, Streisand every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
