Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Beebox at free against BoxPlayer's free with in-app purchases. Beebox also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). BoxPlayer's advantage is ratings volume (61 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BoxPlayer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Beebox sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beebox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BoxPlayer has 61 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
