Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PIXPRO SP1 at 2.3 against Image Sync's 1.8. Image Sync's advantage is ratings volume (197 vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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.
PIXPRO SP1 holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Image Sync has 197 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of PIXPRO SP1's written reviews are positive against 13% of Image Sync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PIXPRO SP1 ships an update every 8 months, Image Sync every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
