The call

The clearest difference is rating: Via Driver at 4.3 against MPS Sync's 1.2. Via Driver also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 5). MPS Sync's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
