I am searching for something to sync my phone contacts between multiple phones for some time. Best case it shouldn’t use DAVx^5 and should support Android and iOS. Thanks for your suggestions!
What I found so far:
Nextcloud - but needs DAVx^5
Radicale - also needs DAVx^5
SoGo - needs some CARD-DAV application
I’ve used Nextcloud and DAVx5 for years (back when X5 was still called DAVDroid). Works great.
That works for me since I use Nextcloud for other things. If you want to sync just contacts and calendars, I’d go with Radicale as I used that successfully before implementing Nextcloud.
What’s your problem with DAVx^5? It’s completely and permanently free and fully-featured on f-droid. Only the PlayStore version costs money. The authors don’t want to make money, but motivate you to move away from Google infrastructure.
If you only need address/phone number sync, then nextcloud is probably overkill, but I use it, and it works great. Also for calendar sync and file storage.

They posted from mastodon though, so they do need to mention the community in order to cross post there.
really? that is cool. i did not realise that was possible. ah fediverse… so many possibilities!
You can even call mastodon bots here, e.g. @[email protected] in 5 minutes
