Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Twingate at 4.4 against FoneBackup's 2.7. Twingate also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (34 vs 3). FoneBackup's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FoneBackup sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.95 per 3 months. Twingate asks for nothing beyond the download.
Twingate holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twingate has 34 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Twingate's written reviews are positive against 50% of FoneBackup's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Twingate ships an update every 5 weeks, FoneBackup fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
