# pCloud vs Right Backup Anywhere

The clearest difference is ratings volume: pCloud at 8.1K against Right Backup Anywhere's 1. pCloud also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 50%) and chart position (#188 vs unranked). Right Backup Anywhere's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. pCloud sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Right Backup Anywhere sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Right Backup Anywhere holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: pCloud has 8.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of pCloud's written reviews are positive against 50% of Right Backup Anywhere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

pCloud ships an update every 3 weeks, Right Backup Anywhere monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
