# Export Contact vs Contact Transfer App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Contact Transfer App at 83% against Export Contact's 47%. Contact Transfer App also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Export Contact's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 139). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Export Contact holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Export Contact has 3.7K ratings behind it against 139, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Export Contact's written reviews are positive against 83% of Contact Transfer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Export Contact ships an update every 2 months, Contact Transfer App fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
