Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PhonePad at Free against ContactFlow's $0.99. PhonePad also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 18 months). ContactFlow's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ratings volume, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
