Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Risk at 100% against MCE Sync's 38%. Risk also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). MCE Sync's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (198 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
