Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TunerBox at Free against GaMBi's $4.99. TunerBox also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). GaMBi's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.8 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
