Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Synchro Reversi at Free against PathPix Zen's $0.99. Synchro Reversi also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 27 months). PathPix Zen's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
