Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SynapticAi at 5.0 against ReefBeat's 2.6. ReefBeat's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

SynapticAi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReefBeat has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
