Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
interplex costs $9.99 and Parachute Backup Mobile $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Parachute Backup Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parachute Backup Mobile has 96 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of interplex's written reviews are positive against 72% of Parachute Backup Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
