Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tic at Free against Sync's $0.99. Tic also leads on update cadence (every 11 months vs every 40 months). Sync's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Tic is free to download; Sync costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sync holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sync has 33 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Sync's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sync ships an update every 40 months, Tic every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
