# ContactsFlow™ vs Recent Contacts

The clearest difference is rating: Recent Contacts at 4.6 against ContactsFlow™'s 3.3. Recent Contacts also leads on ratings volume (90 vs 3). ContactsFlow™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (29% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ContactsFlow™ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Recent Contacts sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Recent Contacts holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recent Contacts has 90 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of ContactsFlow™'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Recent Contacts'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 July 19, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
