Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: uDisk at 4.3 against FoneBackup's 2.7. uDisk also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 50%) and ratings volume (233 vs 3). FoneBackup's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
