Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AppsWizard at Free against BackupFlow's $0.99. AppsWizard also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 2). BackupFlow's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
AppsWizard is free to download; BackupFlow costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BackupFlow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppsWizard has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of AppsWizard's written reviews are positive against 33% of BackupFlow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AppsWizard ships an update every 3 weeks, BackupFlow weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
