Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Synonyms English at none against SMS Filter's 1. Synonyms English also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). SMS Filter's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
