Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Image Sync at 1.8 against Sinar eShutter Remote's 1.0. Image Sync also leads on ratings volume (197 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Sinar eShutter Remote's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Image Sync holds the better App Store score, 1.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Image Sync has 197 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Sinar eShutter Remote's written reviews are positive against 13% of Image Sync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sinar eShutter Remote ships an update every 12 months, Image Sync every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
