Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Contact Backup at none against ContactExport+'s 2. Contact Backup also leads on ads (none vs shown). ContactExport+'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 40 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
