WhoWorks

The built-in Contacts app gives you one line per person: their name. If you deal with people through their work, that's the wrong line — you end up scrolling a thousand names looking for the one who does your plumbing. WhoWorks adds a zoom gesture to your contact list. Pinch out and each row shows more. • Names — the standard list • Names and companies — the company in smaller type under each name • With email — add the email address underneath • By company — the list regroups under company headings instead of letters Contacts missing a field simply don't show that line. Nothing is padded out with blanks. Most people never fill in the Company field, so WhoWorks works it out from a work email address when one is there — someone@acme-tools.com becomes Acme Tools. Inferred companies are shown in lighter type so you can always tell a guess from something you typed. Personal addresses like gmail and icloud are ignored. WhoWorks reads the same address book as Contacts and the Phone app. There's no import, no separate copy, and no syncing — edit a contact anywhere and it's current here. Tap anyone to open the standard iOS contact card with all the usual call, message and FaceTime options. Also included: • Search by company or job title, not just name • Swipe a row to call or message, or to add a favorite • Favorites pinned to the top of the list • Your contacts in Spotlight, searchable by company from the home screen WhoWorks works entirely on your device. It makes no network requests of any kind, has no account, and no analytics. Your address book never leaves your iPhone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WhoWorks at none against HamRadar's 1. HamRadar's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
