# Google Chrome vs Contact.s Back Up

The clearest difference is ads: Contact.s Back Up at none against Google Chrome's shown. Contact.s Back Up also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Google Chrome's advantage is ratings volume (3.9M vs 1.2K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Chrome sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Contact.s Back Up sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Google Chrome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Chrome has 3.9M ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Google Chrome's written reviews are positive against 74% of Contact.s Back Up's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Google Chrome ships an update weekly, Contact.s Back Up fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
