This isn't something we support yet, although we're making progress in that direction: we've recently upgraded SQL Data Compare to .NET 4.6.1 which is a prerequisite for viewing always-encrypted data. We are continually improving our support for SQL Server features, for example we're about to release SQL Compare support for natively-compiled functions, and we expect to continue adding functionality next year.

Do you know when this will be supported?

What about SQL Server 2017?

I'm Trialing SQL Data Compare 13 and am very disappointed to see that AlwaysEncrypted still isn't supported.  I realize it would slow down comparision by needing to the comparisons on the client-side, but this is very important.  We live in a world where data needs to be encrypted.
