Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Sync.VIP at free against PCMA+'s free with in-app purchases. Sync.VIP also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.4). PCMA+'s advantage is ratings volume (225 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
