Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: E at Free against ForwardContact's $1.99. E also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 32 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). ForwardContact's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
