Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Nubox at 5.0 against TiYi's 2.2. Nubox also leads on ads (none vs shown). TiYi's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TiYi sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Nubox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
