Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Box Events at 5.0 against Sync's 4.2. Box Events also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Sync's advantage is ratings volume (830 vs 5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
