Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RoomSync at 4.7 against Raftr's 3.2. RoomSync also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 53) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). Raftr's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 18%). On price, update cadence, 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.
RoomSync holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RoomSync has 4.4K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of RoomSync's written reviews are positive against 55% of Raftr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RoomSync ships an update weekly, Raftr every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
