Verdict
N and SyncroMSP both sit at 1.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 21% of N's written reviews are positive against 7% of SyncroMSP's. N also leads on ratings volume (33 vs 10). SyncroMSP's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SyncroMSP holds the better App Store score, 1.4 against 1.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of N's written reviews are positive against 7% of SyncroMSP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
N ships an update every 6 weeks, SyncroMSP every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
