gzip has rsync-friendly mode allowing for much smaller deltas between files during rsync transfer or backups that use rsync-compatible algorithms. No other compressor implements that as far as I know.

zstd 1.3.8 and later also has an rsync-friendly mode (via the --rsyncable command-line option). See https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/1155 https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/1155
