Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ToolBox Pro at 50% against AppLauncherPro's 0%. ToolBox Pro also leads on rating (4.4 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). AppLauncherPro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
