Verdict

The call

IBackup and Contacts Backup Pro & Restore both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of IBackup's written reviews are positive against 47% of Contacts Backup Pro & Restore's. IBackup also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Contacts Backup Pro & Restore's advantage is ratings volume (7.4K vs 182) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Contacts Backup Pro & Restore holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Contacts Backup Pro & Restore has 7.4K ratings behind it against 182, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of IBackup's written reviews are positive against 47% of Contacts Backup Pro & Restore's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IBackup ships an update every 2 months, Contacts Backup Pro & Restore every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
