# Groups vs Clean Contact Group Manager

The clearest difference is rating: Groups at 4.2 against Clean Contact Group Manager's 1.0. Groups also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (5K vs 1). Clean Contact Group Manager's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (97% vs 76%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Groups sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Clean Contact Group Manager sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Groups holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Groups has 5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Groups's written reviews are positive against 97% of Clean Contact Group Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
