Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Image Sync at free against ビデオSALON's subscription. Image Sync also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 25 months). ビデオSALON's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
