Skype vs. Viber – What’s The Best IM Nowadays?

TNH Staff · April 19, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Given the fact that voice and messaging apps are skyrocketing in popularity (and not only!) these days, it can become a true challenge to decide which one you should use. In these cases, it’s useful to have a brief comparison between them. Today we are going to have a look at two of the most successful apps, namely Skype and Viber.

What You Need to Know about Skype

Regarding business apps, Skype still remains the most popular one among this type of users. The main reason for this is the fact that it offers video conferencing for an astounding number of up to 250 people. You can download it easily and install it on various platforms. The fact that is free also weighs a lot in deciding whether you should use it a lot.

Bonus, you can also use it for landlines and mobile phones, but for this you will have to pay extra. Even so, the rates are quite low and flexible, so it’s worth a shot. It also allows you to create group chats, and the fact that it’s a Microsoft product ensures its compatibility with the Office tools.

Things to Know about Viber

Opposing Skype, Viber is preferred more by the youth, mainly for casual chats with family and friends. It has a friendly typical interface, having nothing formal. It has a new video calling feature, and just like Skype, it is free and it is available for various platforms, even desktops.

It lets you send video, audio files or images, together with funny stickers which you can download for free in most cases. They also charge a minimum fee for calling landlines or mobile phones. It also offers some other options such as Public Chats, Feeds, Viber games, Service Messages or Follow Chat, so you have lots of things to tinker with there.
