Spanish term or phrase: la que más da y roba
In a context of beauty products we have brand XXX which both contributes to sales and "steals away" sales from other brands, looks simple enough. In this context:

"XXX la que más da y roba"

From the more general context it is clear that what is meant is: "the one which gives more (sales) and the one which steals away more (sales from other brands)"

I don't know whether these are good options:


"XXX is the one which gives and takes/steals (away) more/the most"

XXX- the greatest/biggest maker and taker of sales
Explanation:
