# Contact.s Back Up vs Contact Transfer App

The clearest difference is ads: Contact.s Back Up at none against Contact Transfer App's shown. Contact.s Back Up also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 143). Contact Transfer App's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Contact.s Back Up sells 9 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.

Contact.s Back Up holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Contact.s Back Up has 1.3K ratings behind it against 143, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Contact.s Back Up's written reviews are positive against 77% of Contact Transfer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
