# QuickContact vs Call Widget

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QuickContact at 65% against Call Widget's 27%. Call Widget's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickContact sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Call Widget sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Call Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Call Widget has 693 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of QuickContact's written reviews are positive against 27% of Call Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

QuickContact ships an update every 3 months, Call Widget weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
