Blendsync - Export To Unreal / Substance Painter And Back is completely free to download and use.
BlendSync lists compatibility with Blender 4.4 through 5.1, so version 5.1 falls inside its supported range. It is distributed as a Blender extension and marked as Blender Extension Compatible. If you are on a release within that 4.4-to-5.1 span you should be able to install and run it; for versions outside that range, check the developer's page for current details before installing.
BlendSync is set up to work with Cycles and Eevee, the two render engines listed for the add-on. Since it focuses on exchanging assets between Blender, Unreal Engine and Substance Painter, that render engine coverage lines up with Blender's standard rendering options. For any rendering specifics beyond Cycles and Eevee, the developer's page is the best place to confirm current support.
BlendSync is released under the MIT license, a permissive open-source license, as stated for the add-on.

A demo video is also available if you want to see more before installing.
BlendSync is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing on the developer's own store can differ and may change over time, so if you want to confirm the current terms it is best to check Mangoframes' page directly.
