# Gmail vs Contacts Mover Pro

Gmail and Contacts Mover Pro both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Contacts Mover Pro's written reviews are positive against 29% of Gmail's. Contacts Mover Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Gmail's advantage is price (Free vs $5.99) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Gmail is free to download; Contacts Mover Pro costs $5.99 up front. Gmail sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Contacts Mover Pro sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Gmail against 4.7 for Contacts Mover Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gmail has 2.4M ratings behind it against 542, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of Gmail's written reviews are positive against 85% of Contacts Mover Pro's.

Gmail ships an update weekly, Contacts Mover Pro every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
