Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Curabay at 5.0 against Backblaze's 2.8. Curabay also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Backblaze's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
