Sync with Google Drive's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sync sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Sync with Google Drive sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
