Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Art Journaling Exposed at none against Synara's shown. Art Journaling Exposed also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). Synara's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 14 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
