Apple Health, if you like Save matches as workouts and see your statistics afterwards. It's entirely optional. Your data stays yours No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics, and your data never goes to a server of mine. Health data and your privacy If you turn it on, games are saved as workouts in Health. For this, the app asks for access to write workouts. It also asks to read workouts, to find matches recorded on your other devices, and a few statistics, like distance and average heart rate, to show them in the summary at the end of a game. These statistics aren't stored or synced outside Health.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ScoreSync at every 3 days against Badminton's every 3 months. ScoreSync also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
