Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ContactsPro X at free with in-app purchases against Direct Message's subscription. ContactsPro X also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Direct Message's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 12) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
