# Verizon Content Transfer vs Contact.s Back Up

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Verizon Content Transfer at none against Contact.s Back Up's 11. Verizon Content Transfer also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 1.3K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Contact.s Back Up's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Contact.s Back Up sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Verizon Content Transfer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Verizon Content Transfer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Verizon Content Transfer has 33K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Verizon Content Transfer's written reviews are positive against 74% of Contact.s Back Up's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Verizon Content Transfer ships an update every 6 weeks, Contact.s Back Up fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
