So, the story is: I went to Sri Lanka and bought a Sri Lankan sim and when I put it in, my contacts went. When I put my regular sim back, the contacts didn't come back. I tried many contact recovery apps on the app store, but no luck. The only thing that did work is wondershare. It showed me my contacts but to recover them, I need to pay. Is there any free way I can fix this? Or should I just do them manually?

Hello and welcome to Android Forums sr1071
It depends where you saved your Contacts to originally. If, as is the correct procedure, you saved them to your gmail account, they will be there. Visit Google Contacts on your PC. On the other hand, if you saved them to your sim card, as I suspect, you will need to go to settings in Contacts and choose to Import your Contacts from the sim card. Whilst there, try selecting Contacts to display and select All. See if that shows your contacts.
didn't save on google and importing them from the sim doesn't workHello and welcome to Android Forums sr1071
