# iKlips vs BackupBOT

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BackupBOT at none against iKlips's 4. BackupBOT also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). iKlips's advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iKlips sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. BackupBOT asks for nothing beyond the download.

BackupBOT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iKlips has 4.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iKlips ships an update every 2 months, BackupBOT every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
