Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UniFi Protect at none against SleighSync's 1. UniFi Protect also leads on ratings volume (77K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). SleighSync's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
