I have no idea. I've honestly never heard of subliminal until just recently (yesterday) and I've never really tried it out.

But on first glance it seem like subliminal is more for developers in general as it provide apis to use it, it also have a bunch more providers than what SubSync currently have and most likely a much better way for guessing which subtitle is correct. It also seem to focus more on individual subtitles rather than trying to batch download them unlike SubSync. Although they do have support for downloading for a whole folder. How well that works I have no idea.

In the end, Subliminal have been in development for over 5 years and has been thoroughly tested. Whereas SubSync was a weekend project I made 2 weeks ago and never meant to compete with anything existing. I only knew I had a problem I needed to solve and wanted to share it with everyone :-)

TL;DR: I don't think SubSync offers anything unique over Subliminal at this moment. And if you're already used to using Subliminal you should keep doing so if that works good for you. :-)

I think the implication was more "why don't you incorporate subliminal support into SubSync, getting the best of both worlds?".

Yeah, I didn't mean to discourage. It's a cool project and making your own stuff is fun :)
