Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Archivus at none against iTransfer's shown. Archivus also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). iTransfer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
