Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: A2Z Groups at 4.6 against Clean Contact Group Manager's 1.0. A2Z Groups also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 1). Clean Contact Group Manager's advantage is review sentiment (97% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

A2Z Groups holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: A2Z Groups has 3.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of A2Z Groups's written reviews are positive against 97% of Clean Contact Group Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
