The Verdict
Microsoft SharePoint is built for enterprise and large organizations, with a focus on document-management and team-sites. Sync.com targets privacy conscious users and healthcare professionals and leads with end-to-end-encryption and file-sharing.
Pricing is close: Microsoft SharePoint starts at $5/mo versus $6/mo for Sync.com — not a deciding factor on its own.
Sync.com has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Microsoft SharePoint requires a paid subscription from day one.
Sync.com edges out on user ratings (4.4 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Sync.com has a slight overall edge — but if enterprise-grade matters most to you, Microsoft SharePoint may still be the right call.
