Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: RentCafe Resident at every 3 weeks against iosync's every 6 months. RentCafe Resident also leads on ratings volume (1M vs 2) and chart position (#56 vs unranked). iosync's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
