Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Contacts2XL at free against WinterWatch's paid. Contacts2XL also leads on ratings volume (302 vs 1) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). WinterWatch's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
