What are the alternatives to Google Sync?

Gary has been using Google Sync with Microsoft Outlook and his Android phone, but it's no longer working. What are his alternatives? Leo says that Google is now charging for the privilege to use Google Sync, and that's too bad. Free users won't get to sync anymore to Outlook. He can pay $5 a month for the capability, but he'd rather not do that.

The Chatroom advises Fieldston Software's gSyncIt. It works with Google, Evernote, DropBox, and more. It will sync calendar, contacts, and notes.
