VisitHoard vs SideSave
What both publish
| Fact | Hoard | SideSave |
|---|---|---|
| Conflict handling | When two machines have diverging saves, the newest wins and the other is backed up locally. | When independently changed saves conflict, SideSave asks the user whether to keep the local version, remote version, or both. |
| Purpose | Hoard syncs game saves across devices and keeps versioned backups. | SideSave syncs save data for non-Steam games added to Steam as shortcuts between two specific machines, peer-to-peer. |
| Support | The site links to a Discord community and a contact page. | The user guide directs users to the SideSave Discord for help and GitHub Issues for bug reports. |
