# Keep Contacts vs ABC Contacts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ABC Contacts at 87% against Keep Contacts's 50%. ABC Contacts also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). Keep Contacts's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ABC Contacts sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. Keep Contacts asks for nothing beyond the download.

Keep Contacts holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ABC Contacts has 1.2K 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 87% of ABC Contacts'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, ABC Contacts every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
