# Syncro vs Metric

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Syncro at none against Metric's 16. Metric's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (45 vs 4). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metric sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Syncro asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for Syncro against 4.0 for Metric. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metric has 45 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Syncro's written reviews are positive against 53% of Metric's.

Syncro ships an update every 3 weeks, Metric weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
