Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: V2Box at 4.7 against PQI iConnect+'s 2.1. V2Box also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (46% vs 17%). PQI iConnect+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
