Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ProxMate Backup at Free against Harbour's $2.99. ProxMate Backup also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Harbour's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and chart position there is nothing between them.
