Is rsync.net a good service for backups?

I’ve been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I’m happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I’m using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I’ve been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to store my backups. Is rsync.net worth it? According to the “internet” it’s a good service but wanted to double check. What do you think about it?

Hetzner also supports snapshots and you can upload files uncompressed.

I haven’t actually tried it though so I’m not sure how it compares with rsync.net. How easy it is to access snapshots on hetzner? On rsync.net, snapshots are stored under .zfs folder so it’s very easy to access.
