Select many contacts and delete them in one go. ContactsDelete helps you clean up a crowded address book, with a recycle bin that lets you undo mistakes. Deleted the wrong person? Nothing is lost right away. Deleted contacts go to History, a 30-day recycle bin, where you can restore them to your address book or remove them for good. What you can do: - Search by name or phone number - Select several contacts and delete them with one confirmation - Restore deleted contacts from History within 30 days - Find duplicate contacts and merge them: the most complete contact is kept and the copies move to History, so you can undo a merge - Use light or dark mode Free and Premium: - Free: delete up to 5 contacts at a time, with ads - Premium (optional one-time purchase, no subscription): no ads, unlimited delete in one go, History with 30-day recycle bin and duplicate merge - If you bought Premium in an earlier version, it is still yours - You can restore a previous purchase from the app Privacy: your contacts never leave your device. ContactsDelete does not upload, store on a server or share your address book. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Where required, the app asks for your consent first, and you can decline personalised ads. iOS 18: if you give the app limited access to contacts, ContactsDelete works with the contacts you choose, and you can change the selection in Settings. Language: the app follows your phone language and is available in 11 languages: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, French, Arabic, Ukrainian, Russian and Hindi. To change it, open iOS Settings, scroll to ContactsDelete and choose Language. Questions or feedback? Visit https://yunusgunduz.com/contact.php
Retrace

Know your birth time only as a range? Retrace looks at the hours in that range and works out which of them have the most astrological contact with the big events of your life: a marriage, a move, a child, a new job. • Set your window: pick a preset (morning, midday, afternoon, night) or choose your own. • Add your events: short questions walk you through your life, one period at a time. Enter each date as closely as you remember it: day, month, season, year or age. • See the contact: the hours your events touch most, how that contact spreads across your window, and the reason behind each event. • Birth chart: watch the rising sign shift across your window, and see planet positions and houses on the wheel for any minute you pick. Choose Whole Sign or Placidus houses. Retrace doesn't give you a birth time. We measured it on documented cases: the peaks did no better than random hours at pointing to the real birth time, and the result screen always says so. Retrace is a tool for exploring and calculating. It offers no interpretation and promises no answer. Nothing is sent to our servers. Every calculation runs on your device, and there's no account to create. Your cases stay on this device and in your own iCloud backup. Free: 1 case, 4 events in total. Premium (one-time): up to 3 cases, unlimited events, PDF report, sensitivity page, comparison with a documented time. Pro (one-time): everything in Premium, unlimited cases, plus technical weight and orb settings (labeled as unmeasured). No subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Retrace at none against ContactsDelete's shown. Retrace also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). ContactsDelete's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
