Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SyscoSource holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 3% of SyscoSource's written reviews are positive against 100% of Apicbase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
