Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Start Button at none against Button Box's 1. The Start Button also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). Button Box's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price there is nothing between them.
