Not comparable — plugins back up different data
Compared by compression ratio — different raw data sizes
These plugins back up different amounts of data — see the Backup Scope badges below. Speed and storage comparisons are not apples-to-apples.
⚠️Different backup scope -- results may not be directly comparable
One plugin backs up more data categories than the other, which affects both speed and archive size.
⚠️ Not backing up wp-config.php
