ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Contact Eclipse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cardhop Contacts has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Cardhop Contacts's written reviews are positive against 0% of Contact Eclipse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cardhop Contacts ships an update every 6 weeks, Contact Eclipse every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
