Different business model.
As far as I understood, they assume you will monthly/yearly subscription fee to get some storage on their server, their apps will sync with it. It's also possible to sync from calibre to said server (as in - upload all books and their metadata/update metadata).
Thanks to subscription fee, you will also give reason to keep improving their apps and service.
They are very good.
My current issues with bookfusion more on library management side of things/some issues in non-primary functionality (like readwise integration)/inability to send metadata like last-read time back.
PDF support is...usable (more usable compared to Moon+ if you need it on large screen)
Only real alternative I found is Calibre Companion+Moon+(+WSA to get it working on big screen). And CC is abandonware now. I did check calibre sync and it's not alternative for me yet.
