Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: I at none against CardDAV Contacts's shown. I also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). CardDAV Contacts's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
