Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MCBackup at none against Deskit's 4. MCBackup also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 27.0). Deskit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
