WaySync
This mobile tool diagnoses and evaluates traffic signal timing plans in real-time. It allows users to create virtual signal controllers on their devices that mimic field operations, helping to identify common issues with coordinated signals.
- Real-time Time-Space Diagram display
- Real-time traffic signal timing on Map
- Check bandwidth and attainability in TSD
- Record GPS tracks and videos
- Support optimization for non-common cycles
- Develop virtual signal controllers

WaySync-M, which is the short for WaySync-Mobile, is a mobile tool for real-time diagnosis and performance evaluation of traffic signal timing plans. It enables users to develop virtual signal controllers on their mobile devices, which run the same timing plans as that running in the field. Together with its advanced features of geo-referencing and dynamic time-space diagram, it allows users to easily diagnose common issues with actuated coordinated signals, such as phase early return, transition, clock drifting, and erroneous offset inputs. It can be used as a supplemental tool for better timing coordinated traffic signals. Dynamic time-space diagram with Integrated vehicular trajectory for best diagnosis and performance evaluation of coordinated traffic signals. Key features: + Display real-time Time-Space Diagram (TSD) of the traffic signals + Display real-time traffic signal timing on Map + Check bandwidth and attainability when edit timing in TSD + Record GPS tracks and videos which can help engineers to improve traffic performance + Support optimization for non-common cycles * Wifi-only iPad cannot record GPS tracks without external GPS device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Synapse ITS at none against WaySync's 1. WaySync's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
