Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Passion.Fruit at 5.0 against Syro's 4.4. Passion.Fruit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Syro's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
