Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Keep Contacts at none against MCBackup's shown. Keep Contacts also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). MCBackup's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Keep Contacts holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MCBackup has 2.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Keep Contacts's written reviews are positive against 51% of MCBackup's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Keep Contacts ships an update every 6 weeks, MCBackup every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
