Recommendations for Heroku add-on/3rd party service for daily postgres db backups?

Looking for a Heroku add-on or 3rd party service that can do daily backups for a postgres database on Heroku. I run a Node.js based app that has a postgres database, running on a free plan in Heroku. Understand that Heroku do their own backups, but would prefer the added safety net and assurance of a 3rd party service/add-on.

Been researching a bit, but would love to hear the recommendations from maker folks here, especially if you had used it yourself!

Might be worth checking out snapshooter, they do Postgresql backups.

@jamesmkenny thanks James! Do you use it yourself? What's the key pros and cons (as compared to say, Autobus add-on)?

@jasonleow I don't use it myself yet but it's on my radar to give it a look if I needed it.

Plus it's by another maker here, @mrsimonbennett he might be able to give more info on the pros and cons
