FreeTube has significantly more features, so there's not much reason to switch either way.

On my phone I have to use a NewPipe fork in order to get SponsorBlock working.

A sync feature between FreeTube and NewPipe would be appreciated though.

Out of interest, which fork are you using? I used to use newpipe-sponsorblock but it was too slow to update and use Tubular now.

I believe Tubular is just descendent of "newpipe sponsorblock". I believe they are from the same developer who discontinued previous project.

I'm currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularly and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe

It's not that it has a lot more features but the flatpak is official and it's desktop native whereas this app is a third party that works through ATL so why bother switching.

It'd be great if these type of apps came up with a shared data format and allowed you to P2P sync with Syncthing.

You can export your newpipe subs and import them into freetube. Sadly there isn't an automation for this, though
