# Groups vs Delete Contacts+

The clearest difference is rating: Delete Contacts+ at 4.8 against Groups's 4.2. Delete Contacts+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (35K vs 4.9K). Groups's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Groups sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Delete Contacts+ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Delete Contacts+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Delete Contacts+ has 35K ratings behind it against 4.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Groups's written reviews are positive against 83% of Delete Contacts+'s.

Groups ships an update every 8 days, Delete Contacts+ every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
