Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: cSync at freemium against Contacts Mover's subscription. cSync also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Contacts Mover's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Contacts Mover sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and cSync sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
cSync holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Contacts Mover has 2.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
