Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Modern Forms at 4.2 against Fan Smart Sync's 2.2. Modern Forms also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 146). Fan Smart Sync's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Modern Forms holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Modern Forms has 4K ratings behind it against 146, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Fan Smart Sync's written reviews are positive against 13% of Modern Forms's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
