I used CCC and (preferred) SuperDuper! for many years, and ChronoSync is fiddlier to set up than both, but once you’re up and running its killer edge is the sheer speed of incremental bootable backups. The ChronoAgent add-on is well worth the additional $15 if you’re syncing between Macs; I have a 39Gb indexed database on desktop and laptop that usually syncs in under a minute. (I’m syncing the indexed files and folders, not the database itself.) I got sucked in initially because the basic version was on Setapp, and then tried the Pro version (for Monterey bootable backups, which at the time neither CCC nor SuperDuper! could do) for the trial period, which was enough to convince me to stick with it.
