# Recent Contacts vs Contacts For Call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Contacts For Call at 100% against Recent Contacts's 0%. Recent Contacts's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (96 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Recent Contacts sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Contacts For Call sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recent Contacts has 96 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Recent Contacts's written reviews are positive against 100% of Contacts For Call's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Recent Contacts ships an update every 3 weeks, Contacts For Call monthly. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
