Read full description

Möbius Sync brings Syncthing to your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to synchronize selected files between iOS devices and other devices supported by Syncthing, without the need for any cloud service. Supports multiple folders and multiple remote devices. Synchronized folders can be created: 1. in the Möbius Sync sandbox and files can be added to and retrieved from shared folders via the iOS Files app; or 2. (PAID feature) by accessing other apps' sandboxes. This feature is EXPERIMENTAL and may break other app's functionality; or 3. (PAID featured) iOS Photo Library folders can be exported to other devices send-only. Uses the open-source Syncthing engine internally. Usage within the Möbius Sync sandbox is free up to 20MB. Unlimited file sync, including files in other apps' sanboxes is available for a one-time purchase. NOTE: The functionality unlocked by in-app purchase is identical to that in Möbius Sync Pro (which is purchased up-front).

About

Termal Studio

Features
Read full description

Use Termal Studio to make shipping warnings, storage labels, gift notes and name tags. Combine text, photos and drawings, then send your design to a compatible Bluetooth printer. Edit one of 12 templates or start with a blank design. Change fonts, text size and alignment, resize pictures and adjust their black-and-white appearance. You can draw, erase, add frames, undo and redo. An approximate millimeter ruler helps with layout but is not printed. Select 1-10 copies in print preview to print labels one after another. Caveat, Allura, Lora, Oswald and Nunito support Turkish characters. A separate font is included for Chinese text. The fonts work without an internet connection. The app is available in Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French and Simplified Chinese. Choose a language in Settings. New templates use that language; names and text in your saved designs stay as you wrote them. Designs are saved automatically on your device. Reopen them to edit, or export a backup file. No account, ads or in-app purchases. You do not need a printer or internet connection to create designs. Deleting app data can delete saved designs, so keep backups. Printer support Printing requires a Bluetooth LE thermal printer that uses the MXW01 protocol and a 384-dot print head. Not every mini thermal printer or cat printer is supported. Printing has been tested on one Shenzhen Bailexin-labelled mini printer; its exact retail model has not been confirmed. Other models and firmware versions have not been tested. The “Possibly a printer” badge is not a compatibility guarantee. Run a small test print before first use and keep the app open while printing. A printer is required and is not included. Termal Studio is not an official printer manufacturer's app.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Termal Studio at none against Möbius Sync's 1. Termal Studio also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Möbius Sync's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
