Powered by Apple's Neural Engine and an open-source multilingual speech recognition model, Whisper transcribes audio recordings, voice memos, lectures, meetings, podcasts and videos directly on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is tracked. No accounts. New: make music (beta). Describe a song — style, mood, instruments, even lyrics — and Whisper composes it on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Whisperkit at none against MyBox's 1. MyBox's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
