Anybox vs Refind: our take

Anybox takes the higher SoftwareScore, 70 to 67. That's close enough that fit matters more than the number.

Anybox pulls ahead on Ownership and Capture (Ownership 7 vs 5), which makes it the stronger pick for people who want something simple.

Refind pulls ahead on Platform (Platform 7 vs 5), which makes it the stronger pick for people who want something simple.

The clearest divide is Platform (Anybox 5, Refind 7). If that axis is central to how you work, let it settle the choice.

On price they're close: Anybox is Free · $11.99/yr and Refind is Free · $9.99/mo, so cost is unlikely to decide it.
