How to choose

Which devices does the app need to support?

Choose an app that runs on the devices you plan to use. The board covers Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, web and Linux, but platform support varies by app.

Check the app's listing for the specific platforms you need. For example, Jitsi Meet is listed for iOS, while Rakuten Link is listed for iOS and Android.

Can I use a VoIP calling app for free?

A free plan is a useful way to start, but check the app's pricing details to see what its plan includes. Dingtone and FaceTime are listed as free, as is KakaoTalk.

A free trial is different from a free plan: it gives temporary access rather than an ongoing free option.

Does the app connect to my other software?

Check whether the app offers a public API if you need it to connect with other software. An API is a defined way for apps to exchange information.

The board's API mark indicates whether a public API is listed. Confirm the details with the maker before relying on a particular connection.

Should I choose an open-source calling app?

Open-source code can be inspected and reused under its licence. If that matters to you, check the board's open-source mark and read the app's licence terms.

A mark is a starting point; the licence explains what you may do with the code.
