Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Typeboxes at Free against Menu Bar's $2.99. Typeboxes also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.2). Menu Bar's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
