Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: M at Free against Sync's $0.99. M also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 40 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Sync's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
