The difference is that Sync is a proprietary application. This means that it's hard to tell what the app actually does on your device, because nobody can access the source code. The other ones are Free and Open Source, which means anyone can audit them or make changes to them. So users can actually control what the app does. You should use those apps instead, especially if you value privacy and security.
Another one that I know of is Memmy.
