Donnell,

I'm not sure of the exact models you are looking at, but the small (3" x 6") attachments that go on a flash only soften things a bit.

I use the smallest softbox by Photoflex (about 6" x 9"). It does create a softer light, especially if you can get it close to subject. However, shadows do still exist. It is a bit large for on-camera, and an assistant is helpful.

In my opinion, there is no substitute for size.
