# QuickContact vs Call Widget

The clearest difference is monetization model: QuickContact at free with in-app purchases against Call Widget's subscription. QuickContact also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 46%). Call Widget's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickContact sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Call Widget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Call Widget has 184 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of QuickContact's written reviews are positive against 46% 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 every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on July 14, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
