Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TVBox at none against FlightMates's 1. TVBox also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). FlightMates's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
