Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Contractor Level Up at 100% against Pro Referral's 36%. Contractor Level Up also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). Pro Referral's advantage is ratings volume (438 vs 4) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pro Referral holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Referral has 438 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Pro Referral's written reviews are positive against 100% of Contractor Level Up's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pro Referral ships an update every 6 weeks, Contractor Level Up every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
