Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Contact Snapper at none against Group Contact Lite's shown. Contact Snapper also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 60%). Group Contact Lite's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Contact Snapper sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Group Contact Lite sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Group Contact Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 403 and 453 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Contact Snapper's written reviews are positive against 60% of Group Contact Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
