Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SYNCrew holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Silvertrac has 134 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Silvertrac's written reviews are positive against 0% of SYNCrew's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
