I have been using SQL Compare by Redgate at my company and was very satisfied with it. Are there any free comparison tools that are similar? Or what would be my best shot for synchronizing two SQL db's without a paid application

I’ve gone through this and couldn’t find anything comparable, free or otherwise. $395 is a very small price to pay for the value the tool brings and it will almost certainly pay for itself very quickly in productivity gains and risk minimisation.
I had the same problem and wanted a free GUI base Schema comparer tool, what I found wasStar Inix (http://www.starinix.com/sqlcompare02.htm). Obviously not as good as Redgates offering, but it does the job.
Also, with Redgate Sql Compare, once the trial period is over, if you enter the key as 'i need more time' (without the quotes) you can extend the trial by a further 14 days.
Visual Studio (Premium & above I guess) has this feature built-in under the SQL menu.
Very similar to RedGate's SQL Compare and free.
You can try using TableDiff , that came with SQL Server 2005.

Bye.
Have a look at Mighty Comparer. It's currently free. A professional version is under development.
I normally go for the hackish but surprisingly effective technique of downloading the sys_information tables to text files and diffing them with your favorite diff program (this way will even let you compare 3 schemas!).
You can use Database Comparer
