# Contact Tools vs Export Contact

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Export Contact at 47% against Contact Tools's 0%. Export Contact also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 3). Contact Tools's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Contact Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Export Contact sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Export Contact holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0.

Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Contact Tools's written reviews are positive against 47% of Export Contact's.
