Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ziposs Player at none against FileBox's 1. Ziposs Player also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). FileBox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
