Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Contact.s Back Up at none against Google's shown. Contact.s Back Up also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 59%). Google's advantage is ratings volume (5.1M vs 1.2K) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Google sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month and Contact.s Back Up sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Google against 4.5 for Contact.s Back Up. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google has 5.1M ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Google's written reviews are positive against 74% of Contact.s Back Up's.
Google ships an update every 5 days, Contact.s Back Up fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
