Tabellen und Listen mit Kontaktdaten hat man häufig bei der Mitgliederverwaltung von Vereinen, als Erinnerung für runde Geburtstage, bei der Durchführung von Kursen und Seminaren, bei Reisegruppen im Urlaub und bei vielen anderen Gelegenheiten des täglichen Lebens. Wenn man dann einzelne Personen anrufen, einer Gruppe Mails schreiben oder sie über WhatsApp kontaktieren möchte, wünscht man sich eine Liste mit diesen Kontakten auf dem mobilen Gerät. Leider bieten die mobilen Geräte von Apple (iPhone, iPad) keine Möglichkeit, Kontakte aus vorhandenen Tabellen und Listen heraus zu importieren. Die App ermöglicht es dem Nutzer, Kontaktlisten im CSV-Format in das Adressbuch des Gerätes zu importieren. Die Liste der importierten Kontakten kann mit einem Namen versehen und bei Bedarf auch später wieder mit Hilfe der App gelöscht werden.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Contact Diary at 94% against CSV2Contacts's 50%.

On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
