Individuals allows you to mass e-mail individuals, display the name, family members, photos, birth date and place, school, marriage date and place, work location and death information of individuals in your CDM+ database.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Clearstream at 4.9 against CDM+ Mobile's 3.4. Clearstream also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). CDM+ Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clearstream holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clearstream has 1.4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CDM+ Mobile's written reviews are positive against 83% of Clearstream's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CDM+ Mobile ships an update every 2 months, Clearstream every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
